Textile artist Helena Vaari has designed five copes for six bishops and textiles for 15 churches. In her artistic career of 35 years she has made 400 pieces of liturgical textiles. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see ecclesiastical textiles from various churches in one place.

Helena Vaari’s technique is demanding artistic handicraft which combines free art embroidery and applique. Ecclesiastical textiles were embroidered and sewn as early as the Middle Ages. Vaari’s art embroidery is based on ancient tradition and uses modern methods.
