Kunsthandwerkermarkt (Art and Craft Market)
Under the motto "Art and Craft by the Wurm," artisans and hobbyists from near and far present their exceptional and original creations made from a variety of materials on the last Sunday in June, from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This vibrant event not only offers you the chance to admire top-notch artistic work — all unique pieces crafted by artists — but also to purchase them.
The range of crafts is always extensive: you’ll find jewelry made not only from gold and silver but also from stainless steel, acrylic, beads, gemstones, glass, felt, and even from grandma's old silverware and old coins. Felt and textile designers will showcase wearable and quirky items, from chic to casual. With fine metal and stainless steel objects, sculptures, floral arrangements and garden accessories, unique ceramics, acrylic and oil paintings, mosaic art, tasteful patchwork, beloved items for the little ones, and artworks made from wood, slate, and glass, you can expect a variety of beautiful, rare, and unique pieces. Whether from creative minds, designers, or hobbyists, they all present their unusual ideas, useful items, and surprises for both big and small budgets.
Children have the opportunity to test their creative skills in workshops. Felting, soapstone carving, crafting, and more will be lovingly introduced to them at the market. Take advantage of the unique chance to watch artisans at work up close.
Diverse cultural offerings including live music, crafts, model flying, and much more will enchant you. The Geilenkirchen Crafts Market also provides a range of food and drink. Admission is free.
