Are you looking for an escape from monotonous, mass-produced goods? Would you like to experience the scent of fresh wood, the splashes of paint created in the making, the shapes formed from clay, natural cosmetics, homemade delicacies, and see true art being created right before your eyes? Hand Made Fest in Pula is opening its doors once again, transforming the Croatian Homeland War Veterans' Centre into the largest creative workshop in the region! HAND MADE FEST is the one and only original festival with 25 years of tradition.
