Plants Are IN – Craft Days (Day 2)

The 10th anniversary edition of Craft Days is just around the corner! This year's event, under the theme "Plants Are IN!", will take place from 24 to 26 September 2026 at Pazin Castle. A rich and creative programme awaits, bringing together plants, nature, art and traditional crafts in inspiring and hands-on ways. Led by experienced craftspeople, the programme includes workshops in botanical ecoprinting on cotton, cyanotype, papermaking, flower wreath making and natural preparations, as well as workshops for children, including botanical brooch making and plant impressions in clay. We are especially pleased to welcome our international guests from Slovenia once again – the Rokodelski center Škofja Loka / Arts & Crafts Center Škofja Loka. We are also continuing our long-standing collaboration with the School of Applied Arts and Design in Pula. Inspired by plants and botanical motifs, its students have explored art and creative expression to design and create clothing and decorative objects, which will be presented in an exhibition.
