Arctic Wool Experience Center
Lapland Art Centre
Here, wool becomes art and art becomes an experience.
The centre combines exhibition, gallery and workshops - a space where you can see, experience and participate.
Visiting is not just about looking: it energises, inspires confidence and opens up new perspectives on life.
The Arctic Wool Experience Center will open in 2026.
The project is currently underway, and you can already reserve a place among those interested.

What does the centre offer?
Immersive exhibition
An immersive exhibition creates an environment where light, sound and art combine to transport you to another level of consciousness. It is an experience where you are part of the whole, not just a spectator.
Workshops
The workshops give you the chance to experience the power of making with your hands, the chance to see for yourself how wool changes in your hands. This is not just a craft, but an experience that strengthens the balance of mind and body.
Studio
The studio is the heart of creativity - a living creative space where art is made by hand, and where you can see the process up close.
Shop & café
The shop brings together works and products made from wool by different artists - each with their own energy.
Villa museum
A theoretical section on wool - what wool is as a material: its properties, history and new possibilities.
Art Trail
The Art Trail takes you to nature, where art and environment merge into one. It invites you to stop, breathe and experience the connection.
The Arctic Wool Experience Center invites you to experience the power of wool and art.
It's an experience that goes with you - the peace, strength, love and inspiration that is born here and carries you far into everyday life.
Group courses
Wool is one of nature's most versatile materials, and ELLUNHUOPA's drying courses allow you to delve into its world. On this journey you will learn new techniques and discover something new about yourself at the same time. You will learn to trust your skills, give space to your creativity and achieve inner peace. Under Elku's guidance, your crafting will reach a whole new level.
Art workshop in Sodankylä
Arctic Wool Experience Center is located in the beautiful landscape of Lapland, only about 15 km from the centre of Sodankylä, in the direction of Kemijärvi. The centre is located near Lake Orajärvi, surrounded by peaceful nature.
There are several accommodation options and services in the surrounding area to make your stay easy and enjoyable. The Sodankylä centre offers a wider range of services, and nearby accommodation providers work with the centre to offer tourists a complete experience.
The Arctic Wool Experience Center is not a place you come and go. It is a journey that continues inside you. It gives you strength, inspiration, courage and love for life.
”Wool - an ancient material - opens doors to new possibilities.
It calms, balances, gives your hands something to do and your mind a rest.
Small movements change the whole body and mind.”
