More than a thousand artists, one fair
What do
craftsmen do?
They carry on traditions, adapting them to modern life, or reinterpret them using modern techniques and innovative materials. Some carve, others sculpt, weave, or forge.
Some work stone and metal, others wood, leather, or natural fibers, all driven by the same passion.
Where to meet the DOC artisans
At the stalls, artisans are always happy to share their story.
Opportunities abound: during a fair or exhibition, in workshops, schools, or shows, you can watch their skilled, knotted hands transform nature into pure emotion.
