Information about the artist / the group

Hi, I'm Laura Knuut. I make eyewear using Finnish natural materials. The front of the frame is made of birch bark and temples of reindeer antler. The details and decorations in the frames include genuine wild flowers picked from surrounding nature or lace decorations. Each frame is unique, as my work is guided by the limitations set by the materials. All work steps are done at the Sodankylä workshop. There is a showroom next to my workspace and from the window you can see directly into the workshop. I am an optician by profession and if necessary I can sell you prescription lenses. I treat my frames as functional art, because glasses are most often a must-have accessory that can be used to emphasize personality and values. I seek inspiration from the forms shaped by nature, such as stones.
