Kunsthandwerkermarkt

Darmstadt Arts & Crafts Market

 

If you are looking for an unusual piece for your home, an original gift or a special piece of jewellery, the traditional Darmstadt arts and crafts market on the Friedensplatz is just the place for you.

 

The range on offer is diverse: pieces of jewelry that impress with their special design and high-quality workmanship, ceramic products that are both practical and decorative, unique fashion items that reflect individuality and style and creative design and decorative items that add a special charm to any room.

 

The market not only offers the chance to purchase exceptional handicrafts, but also the opportunity to learn the stories behind the works and talk to the artisans in person. At one stand or another, visitors can also watch the production process using various techniques, from jewelry making to the customization of belts and wood carvings. Some products can also be customized. There is always sewing, screwing, threading and working on sculptures at the market - so it is not only a sales area, but also a place to exhibit and experience local and national arts and crafts.

Date:
Saturday 16. and Sunday 17. August

 

Venue: Friedensplatz, 64283 Darmstadt, Germany

 

Opening hours of the stands:
Saturday: 10 am to 7 pm
Sunday: 10 am to 6 pm

Holzschmuckunikate - Bernd Holitzka

For more than 32 years I have been working with about 80 different and sometimes very unusual woods, from A like Amboina burl to Z like Ziricote, from all over the world. They are not dyed or glued together, but are always pure nature, and I only use oil or wax as a surface. I like to leave natural inclusions or grown edges in the jewellery. Each piece is absolutely unique.

Künstlerschmuck für Individualisten - Roberto Kocchiu

Künstlerschmuck für Individualisten - Roberto Kocchiu

I get my inspiration from everything I see and everything I have experienced so far. That's why my art is a fusion of stylised pre-Columbian motifs, the freedom to create whatever comes to mind without restrictions from my time studying in California, the influence of mostly simple and sometimes minimalist European design and the maritime influences from my childhood in a fishing village.

JEWLY - Angelika Müller

JEWLY - Angelika Müller

I am inspired by the many small, wonderful things that I discover and experience in my immediate environment.

 

I take many of these inspirations and experiment and combine them into new, unusual ideas. This is how my jewellery comes into being and a variety of material combinations that I put together from the most diverse areas.

 

A colourful world that combines old and new, resulting in gift ideas or especially jewellery collections, which I would like to present to you on these pages and also especially live at selected markets.

Paper studio tulibri - Astrid Haas

Paper studio tulibri - Astrid Haas

tulibri - these are unusual books in a fresh design, lovingly handmade in my small manufactory: writing and travel books, photo albums and more. My aim is to create books with meaning. According to the motto: ‘take what's been discarded and make something beautiful out of it’, I turn old atlases, coffee sacks and recycled leather into unique ‘green’ books with the charm of things with a history.

 

About tulibri

tulibri is a ‘self-made’ artificial word. It stands for tulip, because they are my favourite flowers. Only the simple, unadorned ones please. And libri (Italian) stands for books.

 

tulibri is pronounced with an emphasis on the ‘tu’ - like ‘hummingbird’.
