Hanna Jensen : Extraordinary Days in Fiskars Village – 13 Stories
In the anniversary book, members of the creative community living and working in Fiskars Village tell in their own words about their lives while opening the doors to their homes. Members of the community include a carpenter, ceramic artist, food artisan, veterinarian and an entrepreneur couple.
”When I moved to Fiskars Village in 1994, there were hardly any people on the streets. We were pioneers! Ingmar Lindberg was the Deputy CEO of Fiskars Group then and he'd been instructed to ‘do something' with the village. He told me how he woke up in the middle of the night and knew exactly what to do. Artisans and artists should be invited to live here in Fiskars Village”, says ceramicist Karin Widnäs, one of the people interviewed in the book.
The personal narratives in the book are complemented by four creative texts, which express the uniqueness of the village through short stories, essays, and poems.
The book is titled Extraordinary Days in Fiskars Village - 13 Stories. Its publishing house is Cozy Publishing. Author and journalist Hanna Jensen has been responsible for the book's interviews and texts, and the photographs have been taken by photographer and graphic designer Viola Minerva Virtamo, who has also created the book's visual identity.
