The Fiskars residency is a valid experience for established artists who are seeking visibility for a project or a product they have already developed. It has a high quality communication service and facilities were fair for a little village in the Finnish countryside combining a rural setting with an established name in the field which can help to get future residencies and contacts among the local art system. It is easily accessible with your own car or then arranging a picking service with the staff members. The workshop space is equipped with very basic tools, enough for a basic level of understanding of the tools and the materials.
