Meet the masters in Helsinki
Every Elven Crafts workshop is taught by a named master, not an anonymous facilitator. Each is a working artisan in their own right; teaching is one of the things they do.
Maria Sol
Bead jewellery & chainmail
Helmikorupaja ja ketjupanssaripaja. Maria runs the original Elven Crafts studio. Bead workshops fit hen parties and tiimipäivät; chainmail rewards engineering-leaning teams.
Valo R.
Candle making
Kynttiläpaja ja tuoksukynttilät. Valo brings the wax, wicks, and a working knowledge of scent blending. Calmer pace, popular with mixed-age groups and pre-Christmas workplace events.
Patrik (visiting from Copenhagen)
Chainmail
Patrik teaches chainmail in Helsinki on rotating dates. Useful when group sizes outgrow what one master can hold.
Other crafts (ceramics, painting, analog photography, textile arts, Nordic cooking) are on our open-invitation list — masters joining the platform through 2026. About Elven Crafts Helsinki
