    I made my very first Tonttu for my children 21 years ago. Both my children are grown up now! Tonttus are displayed in our house every Christmas but they don’t mind at all to be part of your life all year around.

    I have designed and handmade each one of-a-kind Tonttu boys and girls to be part of Christmas tradition hoping they will be loved and passed on as an heirloom from one generation to the next.
    Tonttus require painstaking detailed work involving approximately 50 work stages. Only a very limited number is made annually. Every Tonttu is signed, dated, numbered and given a name with the name day. In Finland we have a long tradition of celebrating name days. For example my name day, which I share with Pirkko, Birgit and Piritta, falls is October 7th.
    Due to the fragile nature of the ceramic head and hands and clothes that they don’t take off please handle Tonttus gently.
