Enamel Exhibition in FINLAND

I'm just back from visiting my good friend Ulla Huttunen, a Finnish enameller, who has put together a really wonderful exhibition of her own enamels and the work of 17 selected invited enamellers from the UK.

The exhibition is now open in the beautiful, new gallery space at Kenkavero in Mikkeli, and will be on display until the 28th October 2007 .

The exhibition will then travel to Kuopio Design Academy, Kuopio, Finland – 5th November – 15th December 2007.

The final highlight is the show at the prestigious national Craft Museum of Finland in Jyvaskyla, Finland – 22nd December 2007 – 1st March 2008
