Ambacht in Beeld Festival 2024 at the NDSM Loods, Amsterdam North

September 21 & 22, 2024

Opening hours: 10 am to 6 pm

Ticket sales for workshops and masterclasses will start on September 1, 2024

Workshops, masterclasses and much more…

This year we present the 10th edition of the festival at the NDSM Loods.

We are transforming the NDSM Loods into a big public workshop where over 100 craftsmen will teach workshops and masterclasses during the festival weekend. In addition, there are demonstrations and exhibitions and a food court with vegan food and drinks, tastings and food workshops. Various schools for vocational training courses and museums also present themselves. In addition, there is a cinema with a continuous documentary programme, a stage with live (world) music and a materials fair.

The festival focuses explicitly on master craftsmanship, with artisans from home and abroad sharing their knowledge with audiences of all ages.

The Ambacht in Beeld Festival is an initiative by Wendy van Wilgenburg and is organized by the Ambacht in Beeld Foundation (Cultural ANBI).

“The sector needs a positive billboard that presents craft from strength and shows that as a society we desperately need these skilled makers The festival gives an enormous boost to a new appreciation of crafts and their practice by the general public. By highlighting craftsmanship in an interactive and educational way, we foster appreciation and improve the image and visibility of artisanal masters while also promoting the preservation and passing on of artisanal expertise as intangible heritage.”
