The Saami Reindeer
People are the last remaining Nomadic People of
Europe.
Their Reindeer grounds
range across the Northern Arctic reaches of
Scandanavia. Almost all their
needs were met by their Reindeer herds.
The Saami are renowned
for the exquisite craftwork both in woodcarving
and leatherwork.
During this workshop we will handcraft a
leather and fur trimmed Saami bag, which is
beautifully made up of different and contrasting
panels.
The bags are symbolically decorated
with meaningful bones, beads, teeth and claws.
These bags are beautifully different and are sure
to inspire all those who see it.
