Commissions

Riitta has been involved in a number of exciting commissions involving the recreation of historical textiles using methods similar to those used during the times which the textiles represent. The museums include the Jorvik Viking Centre in York, the National Maritime Museum in London, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford upon Avon, the National Trust for Sutton Hoo Visitor Centre and Lausanne Museum in Switzerland.

Other commissions include a hanging for lent in St. Michael’s Church in Oxford and six large hangings commissioned by the National Trust for Newton House, Dinefwr Park and Castle, Llandeilo.

In 2003 she was also commissioned to weave the fine linen cloth used to make the rochet worn by Rowan Williams for his ordination as the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Riitta has also produced work for many private clients, including rugs, wall hangings and tablecloths
for both modern and traditional homes. Please feel free to contact her if you would like to discuss
possible commissions.
