Location: T29, Culture Hub Croatia (Table 29)

Date: April 26 & 27, 2025

The Skills Fair is organized by the Culture Hub Croatia platform to promote traditional and artistic crafts as well as creative and educational programs for adults, held at various locations throughout Split.

Are you interested in handmade crafts – traditional techniques for creating practical or decorative items – but unsure which craft to choose or where to begin?

Are you already practicing a craft and curious to explore new techniques?

Are you thinking about taking up a new hobby or even considering a career change?

Join us at the Skills Fair, where you’ll have the opportunity to take part in free workshops and demonstrations, get informed about creative programs and sign up for future sessions, and learn more about various techniques and materials. Together we’ll create new crafts and provide a space for networking and exchanging knowledge and experiences.

Through the Skills Fair, CHC is introducing a new international initiative – Craftwork4All, a platform for emerging artisans in the field of traditional and artistic crafts. At the info desk, available on both Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 8 PM, you’ll have the chance to learn more about the project and express your interest in participating.

Workshops are open to all (adult) citizens, artists, creatives – especially those already involved in handmade crafts.
