Private Secret of the Antler

Reindeer antler has always been a raw material for Lappish utility and decorative items. Reindeer antler is an ecological material, as reindeer shed their antlers every year. Here at Decorative & Artistic Handicrafts Kangasniemi, the principle raw material used is reindeer antler. The company’s mission is to maintain and preserve the handicraft traditions of working with reindeer antler. By visiting our workshop, you can see how reindeer antler is skilfully worked, and you will also have the opportunity to make your own souvenir from Lapland’s exclusive raw material.

Using example articles, owners will tell about established traditions and the reindeer antler work currently being produced at Kangasniemi, as well as reindeer antler working in general. After the presentation everyone will have the opportunity to make their own souvenir from reindeer antler. At the same time, visitors may familiarise themselves with a Lappish log-built home.
