A Day in Posio – Ceramics and Local Life

Spend a memorable day discovering the creative and authentic spirit of Posio, where art and nature exist in perfect harmony. Your journey begins with a scenic two hour drive from Rovaniemi, passing through silent forests and frozen rivers that lead you deep into Lapland’s peaceful wilderness. During the day, you will visit local artist Miki Kim at her tranquil Miki Studio, where clay, natural glazes, and soft northern light come together to shape unique ceramic pieces inspired by the surrounding landscape. You will learn about the slow and mindful creative process behind her work. The experience continues at the Pentik Hill Culture Centre, the world’s northernmost ceramics factory and a symbol of Finnish design, where you can explore galleries and exhibitions and relax for a moment in the cozy café.

In addition to art and design, the day offers a meaningful connection to Lapland’s traditional way of life. By a quiet lakeshore, you will meet a local fisherman who shares stories of a life guided by the seasons and the water. You will see traditional fishing methods and enjoy a fresh home style lunch prepared by the fire from the lake’s own bounty. As the afternoon draws to a close, you will visit Lehtiniemi Guesthouse for a peaceful coffee by the lake, taking in the calm scenery before returning to Rovaniemi with a deeper appreciation of Posio’s culture, creativity, and natural beauty.
