Makers Market is a gathering place where artisan designers present their products to the public. Think jewelry, ceramics, hand-woven textiles, illustrations and small interior objects. The market attracts people who otherwise never visit small studios, and creates space for direct feedback, inspiration and maker-customer contact.
The atmosphere is informal and approachable: a mix of local residents, design enthusiasts, curious tourists and creative students. You stroll past booths, talk to makers and get direct explanations of their work. For many, it's less a buying opportunity than an exploration - you get to know techniques, stories and sources of inspiration.

What sets Makers Market apart is the selection. There is no excess of useful gadgets, but rather a focus on unique materials and sustainable production. That means you'll find products that aren't in a store, but are made with love. Sometimes you can see makers working on site: sawing wood, stitching, applying glaze - live evidence of the process.
Because the market often takes place in changing venues, each edition provides new touches. Old halls, gardens, industrial spaces or halls - the decor changes, but the creators remain central. It makes you always find something new, even if you come more often.
"Here you don't just buy an object - you buy its story."
For those who love original work, a conversation with the maker and stuff with character, Makers Market is a must. It's not a mass event, but a mindful viewing experience where you'll find products you don't see just anywhere else.
