Crafts Academy is the talent program of Crafts Council Nederland that offers young people the unique opportunity to learn directly from professionals in the rich environment of museums. The participants have delved into four techniques: calligraphy and decorative painting, embroidery, basket weaving, and kite making.
Crafts are deeply rooted in every culture worldwide. They connect us to our common origins through objects, stories, and traditions. Therefore, Crafts Academy took place at Wereldmuseum Rotterdam, Wereldmuseum Leiden, and Wereldmuseum Berg en Dal.
