The Master Bark Weaver\u2019s Cottage by Erkki Pekkarinen<\/h1>
H\u00e4me, Southern Finland, As agreed separately, Atelier<\/div><\/div>

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bark works of Erkki Pekkarinen<\/em>, who lives in Vesivehmaa in Asikkala, combine an ancient technique with outstanding creativity and artistic expression. Pekkarinen is a masterful weaver of bark, who has focused on testing the limits and possibilities of traditional bark technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pekkarinen has turned samples of his skills into a collection, which is housed at his home and called the Master Bark Weaver’s Cottage. Almost 500 bark works are on display at the museum, among them birch bark shoes of record dimensions and a container with a capacity of more than 1.5 cubic metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
