Sámi crafts

Sámi crafts, known as duodji, are traditional indigenous crafts of the Sámi people from northern Scandinavia. They encompass a range of skills including intricate sewing, woodwork, and textile arts, often reflecting their environment and cultural heritage. Common items include decorated clothing, accessories, and tools made from natural materials like reindeer leather, wool, and wood. These crafts serve practical purposes, such as warmth and storage, while also expressing cultural identity and artistry. Today, duodji remains a vital part of Sámi culture, blending tradition with contemporary creativity, and is celebrated worldwide as a symbol of Sámi heritage.
