I enjoy curating custom workshops to fulfill people's different punch needle interests. Happy to host private workshops and team events. I am based in Helsinki & open to travel :)
I frequently collaborate with TeeMaa, a cozy tea shop and tea house located on Annankatu 19. Our joint workshops offer a unique blend of creativity and relaxation, combining the tactile pleasure of working with yarn textures with the sensory delight of tea tastings.
For smaller groups I am happy to welcome you to my studio – Tukholmankatu 10.

Also possible to organise a drop-in workshop.
Workshop materials
We'll be working with Oxford punch needles. Oxford punch needles are loved and recommended in the punch needle community by their high quality and ergonomic build. Designed by Amy Oxford and handmade in Vermont, USA.
There is always a wide variety of different yarns to choose from. I enjoy picking colors and textures based on the season – more cotton yarns in the summer and brighter, lighter tones for spring.
Food & Drinks
Yes! I can help you organise food and drinks to the event! I can also suggest local, cozy venues with lovely food – where we can have the whole event ;)
Price
Price depends on several details like the venue, group size and added extras – that being said, usually the price per person lands somewhere between 60-130€. I happy to tailor my events based on your budget. Lets have a chat :)
Punch needle is loved all over the world
Forgiving for both beginners and experienced punchers: work can be easily undone and redone at any moment.
Creative & playful: offers the freedom to improvise and undo stitches effortlessly. This fosters a supportive environment for building intuition, self-trust, and practising intuition-based decision-making.
Working with hands and experiencing the created yarn textures is beneficial for relaxation, being present and experiencing the world in a tangible way.
