The three craft-based workshops will focus on using hands-on activities to improve the emotional well-being of the participants. In the first workshop, “Balance Through Clay,” participants will use clay to create forms that represent different aspects of their personality and character. In “Exploring Relationships,” participants will use foil to create representations of their relationships with others. The third workshop, “Creating a Mandala,” will guide participants in designing a mandala using natural materials like grains and paint.

Initiated and coordinated since 2002 by l’Institut pour les Savoir-Faire Français, the European Artistic Crafts Days (EACD) have evolved from a French event into a week-long celebration of crafts and craftspeople across Europe. Over the course of two years, the European Crafts Alliance, via the Crafting project co-funded by the European Union, has provided financial and organisational support to over 100 events across Europe. The events listed above are supported by ECA grants in 2025.
