SUMMARY:Inside the arts | Kirsti Tuokko's studio
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive visit to the studio of renowned Finnish artist Kirsti Tuokko\, whose works are part of the collections at the Helsinki Art Museum HAM\, the Tampere Art Museum\, the Wihuri Foundation\, and the Saastamoinen Foundation. Known for her innovative approach to painting\, Kirsti explores themes of human behavior\, fashion\, and visual communication through her unique artistic process. \n\n\n\nThis intimate studio visit offers a rare opportunity to witness Kirsti’s creative space and gain insight into the ideas and techniques behind her captivating works. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this chance to delve into the world of an artist who merges bold experimentation with thoughtful reflections on the human experience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue: Roihupelto area – precise address will be communicate to the registrants\n\n\n\nLast Day to Sign Up: 17.02.2025\n\n\n\nOpen to our members and their guests\n\n\n\nOrganisers: Tanja Vuorela (+358408266103)\, Juliette de Cuzey (+358452105753)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA few words about Kirsti Tuokko\n\n\n\n\n\nHer works are deeply material-driven\, often created on plexiglass\, which she uses in translucent\, opal\, or smoke-toned variations. By painting on the reverse side of the plexiglass without viewing the front during the process\, she embraces the unexpected\, allowing the interplay between material and chance to guide her art. This method not only reflects her fascination with design-oriented creativity but also challenges traditional perceptions of control in painting. \n\n\n\nKirsti Tuokko trained as a visual arts teacher at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki and later took additional graphic and symbolic design courses at the University of California\, Berkeley. Her career as an artist began just before she turned fifty and she is now represented by Forsblom gallery since 2024. \n\n\n\nhttps://kirstituokko.fi/ \n\n\n\nhttps://www.galerieforsblom.com/artists/kirsti-tuokko

SUMMARY:Stillness and Me-Time
DESCRIPTION:Learn simple mindfulness and meditation techniques designed to bring ease\, insight\, and a deeper sense of presence into everyday life. \n\n\n\nWe will gather in the calm of club member Pauliina Salmenhaara’s living room and discover soul-nourishing ways to slow down and reconnect with yourself. This four-session series is a gentle invitation to make room for stillness\, clarity\, and meaningful me-time in everyday life. Each evening includes guided meditation\, nourishing reflection\, and grounding practices to feel more present and in tune with yourself.  \n\n\n\nNo experience needed\, just a curious heart and the desire to feel more grounded and calm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPauliina was introduced to meditation almost 30 years ago\, and she has been hosting mediation and mindfulness events since 2010. She has seen the great benefit\, both personally and professionally\, from very simple breathing and other techniques\, which are especially helpful during times of stress and anxiety\, when the mind and heart become overwhelmed. \n\n\n\nMeditation and mindfulness are integral to her work as a holistic practitioner\, vegan chef\, and host of women’ s circles\, and she hopes to spread some of this joy and love with IWCH members as well.  \n\n\n\nPlease feel at ease to email her with any questions regarding Stillness and Me-Time at chat@rawio.asia.  \n\n\n\n\nVenue : Pauliina’s living room\, Helsinki 00150 (Eira)\, a 1-minute walk from tram 6 stop Munkkisaari\, 3-minute walk from tram stop 1 (Perämiehenkatu)\, 7-minute walk from tram stop 3 and bus stop 20 and 30 (Eiran sairaala). \n\n\n\nTo cancel\, email Pauliina Friday 5th of September at the latest.

SUMMARY:Tour of Aalto House and Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a guided tour of the iconic Aalto House in Munkkiniemi. Alvar and Aino Aalto created a unique and lasting imprint in the history of architecture and design\, both in Finland and internationally.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 1934\, Aino and Alvar Aalto acquired a site in almost completely untouched surroundings at Riihitie in Helsinki’s Munkkiniemi. They started designing their own house which was completed in August 1936. \n\n\n\nThe house was designed as both a family home and an office and these two functions can clearly be seen from the outside. The slender mass of the office wing is in white-painted\, lightly rendered brickwork. There are still clear references to Functionalism in the location of the windows. The cladding material of the residential part is slender\, dark-stained timber battens. The building has a flat roof and a large south-facing terrace. \n\n\n\nAlthough the streetside elevation of the house is severe and closed-off\, it is softened by climbing plants and a slate path leading up to the front door. There are already signs of the ‘new’ Aalto in the Aalto House\, of the Romantic Functionalist. The plentiful use of wood as a finishing material and four open hearts built in brick also point to this. \n\n\n\nThe Aalto House is a cozy\, intimate building for living and working\, designed by two architects for themselves\, using simple uncluttered materials. \n\n\n\n For more information click here: https://www.alvaraalto.fi/en/architecture/the-aalto-house/ \n\n\n\nImage: Eva ja Pertti Ingervo @ Alvar Aalto Foundation \n\n\n\n\nTo cancel\, email Ana Jones-Wilenius Friday September 12th at the latest.
