Artist Showcase: Kukka Tanssi — Little Stories Tufted in Yarn

Today we’re bringing one of our Instagram collaboration posts into the Peppaca Forum conversation. Kukka Tanssi, meaning “flower dance,” creates handmade rugs using the tufting technique — almost like painting with yarn. Each piece feels like a small story brought into everyday life. The artist hopes that the place where the rug is placed can become a little more special for the person who welcomes it. In our Instagram collaboration post, we shared one of Kukka Tanssi’s small tufted fox pieces. It is a quiet work with a story-like feeling — the kind of piece that makes you want to imagine what is happening just beyond the frame. See the original Instagram collaboration post Please check our artwork from a Japanese artist @kukka_tanssi We would love to hear from @kukka_tanssi: What part of the process did you enjoy most when creating this piece or this series? And to everyone in the community — what kind of story do you imagine when you see this work?
