Satu's homepage

This is Satu Hovi's homepage in English. I will guide You into my world. I will tell You both about my profession and my hobbies. At these pages You will find information about Finnish Ancient costumes, historical costumes, medieval herb garden and medieval reanactment.

Profession
My education is Fashion Designer. I am specialized into historical costumes. My special interests are Finnish Viking Age and Renaissance. I study past times' pattern drawing and sewing techniques. I teach nålebinding techniques, costume history and making of ancient Finnish Viking Age costumes. I sell those products, as well as historical costumes. I write articles. If you want me to teach or write, please contact me.

Hobbies
I am a member of Suomen Keskiaikaseura ry and through it the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA Inc). In this society we do re-live the Middle Ages in a way it should have been, in its best and how we most like it. I am especially attached with listening medieval music, Viking food and drink, medieval gardening and historical novels.
I live in Pornainen, about 40 kilometres northeast from Helsinki, Finland.
