Crafts to discover Laponie

On the riverbank outside Kautokeino, Frank and Regine Juhls have created a veritable folk art sanctuary. For more than 40 years, they have been doing more than just creating jewellery in this silver workshop. The beauty of Saami art reveals its deep artistic meaning here. The jewellery (especially the knives, with their reindeer antler handles finely decorated with animal or symbolic motifs) are true marvels. In addition to the goldsmiths at work, you can also see the sheep, horses and chickens on the farm.

This quality Saami handicraft shop is ideally located on the shores of Lake Kuivajärvi. In a hexagonal chalet in the heart of the reindeer farm is the art gallery, where handmade creations made from reindeer antlers, horn, leather, wool, etc. are on display, including a wide selection of traditional jewellery. In winter, the gallery is open on request. The owners also organize visits to the village, or various activities in the surroundings, guided by local partners.
