The red craft house SALT is located on the quayside in Sjökvarteret, the Maritime Quarter of Mariehamn. Here, six artisans have workshops and sales in an inspiring community.
In addition to fine objects by ceramicist Siv Linney and textile artisans Ann Granlund, Gunilla von Nandelstadh, Ilse Berg, Marie Lundgren and Anna Nilsson, the shop is filled with handmade creations and award-winning food crafts by selected Åland craftsmen and food creators. Here you can indulge in beautiful and creative crafts – from textiles, silver, ceramics and glass to wood, ironwork, apple juice and chocolate.
The colourful impressions then continue among all the hand-printed fabrics, woven rugs, beautiful jewellery, shapely ceramics, needle felted cushions, knitted mittens and all the creative reuse.
It's great to know that you can always meet one of SALT's artisans in the shop. Take the opportunity to ask your crafting question!
Events in Sjökvarteret
SALT likes life and movement and is happy to participate in various events in the Maritime Quarter, such as the popular tar market in early spring, Åland Harvest Festival and the Christmas market. Café SALT also opens then, always with good home baking and often accompanied by swinging music.
Summer exhibition
This summer, SALT opens up the upper floor for an exhibition of arts and crafts. The theme is ‘Shimmer and shards’, where the craft centre displays textiles in various forms, ceramics, metal and woodwork.
