Art in Craft 2026: Unique pieces between tradition and contemporary design
On November 14 and 15, 2026, the historic Alte Waage in Braunschweig, together with the neighboring St. Andreas Church, transforms into an atmospheric meeting point for contemporary crafts, good design, and personal encounters. The exhibition presents handcrafted unique pieces made from various materials and professions – with free admission.
Materials become carriers of expression
The exhibition guides visitors through a wide spectrum of applied art: textile design, patchwork, ceramics, fashion, papier-mâché, nature photography, wood and metal design, painting, graphics, bookbinding, drawing, jewelry, hand weaving, sculpture, and crossover design. Each object makes the production process visible and connects design precision with individual handwriting.
Viewing works in a historic environment
The Alte Waage creates a special exhibition atmosphere with its historic architecture. Between half-timbering, warm materials, and carefully curated presentations, an art experience arises that invites close observation, lingering, and conversation. The aesthetic experience spans from finely crafted jewelry to expressive sculpture and from tactile textile art to photographic observation of nature.
Diversity of applied art
Exhibiting artisans include among others Ayre Brandt with patchwork, Frank Breiter with ceramics, Iuliana Rodica Circa with fashion, Monika Elsner with papier-mâché figures, Sabine Hauer and Oliver Simon with nature photography, and Hendrik Hinrichs with wood and metal design. Works in painting, graphics, bookbinding, jewelry, wood, candles, drawing, textile design, and sculpture also shape the sales exhibition.
Cultural education through direct exchange
Art in Craft makes cultural education immediately tangible. The direct contact with the exhibitors offers insights into material selection, design, technique, and the often lengthy development of a unique piece. Thus, a visit to the exhibition becomes a lively viewing of works, where craft tradition and contemporary design language engage in conversation.
Conclusion: An art experience to discover and take away
Art in Craft 2026 offers a sensory art experience for all who appreciate authentic materials, careful design, and unmistakable unique pieces. The combination of historic spatial effect, contemporary craftsmanship, and personal interaction makes the exhibition a special event in November in Braunschweig. A visit is worthwhile for art enthusiasts, design lovers, and all who want to experience aesthetic experiences firsthand.
