Old Crafts Market Vlissingen 1572

History comes alive on Nieuwendijk during Vlissingen 1572's atmospheric Old Crafts Market. Among the historic facades, artisans demonstrate what craftsmanship looked like in the past, with patience, precision, and love for their materials. Visitors can see up close how traditional techniques are applied. Watch a clog maker at work, a basket weaver braiding willow branches, or a glass engraver skillfully creating patterns in glass. You can also admire ships in bottles, woodworking, silk painting, mosaics, rope making, and chair caning. The market is not just for looking, but for experiencing. At various crafts, you can see products being made on the spot, from baking cookies to burning glass beads, from pottery to woodturning. Of course, there are also artisans selling their handmade products, so you can take a unique piece of craftsmanship home with you.

Come by, look over the shoulders of the artisans, and be surprised by centuries-old craftsmanship on the Nieuwendijk.
