On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September 2025, we will once again transform the NDSM Loods in Amsterdam into a huge craft workshop, where craftsmen from home and abroad share their passion with a wide audience. From woodturning to copper beating, and from kintsugi to batik; with over 100 master craftsmen, workshops, masterclasses, films, demonstrations and lectures, the festival offers a unique opportunity to discover crafts, try them out and learn new skills. Entrance tickets are available from 1 July, ticket sales for the workshops start on 1 September 2025.
