Wood Carver Risto Telkkä

Risto Telkkä in his workshop in Finland, just before getting in the car to Hornindal.

Risto Telkkä is a Finnish wood carver, who among other things makes traditional wooden drinking vessels. These are called haarikka in Finnish, and are usually made from juniper or birch wood. Risto will be at the festival selling objects he’s made, and also demonstrating wood carving.
