Program, exhibitors & speakers
Exhibitors
WoodMee®
is a brand new construction toy - for kids and adults - made from cherry wood and steel. It's easy, great fun, durable and looks great. Everything can be assembled freely according to your imagination again and again. That way you'll always have a new toy or your own sculpture for the shelf. Specifically, wooden blocks are assembled with special steel splinters. The wooden blocks will fit together and the model you have built will not break. You can easily take it apart and build a new model again and again and again.

In recent years, they have also added a large selection of accessories for knitting, crocheting, crochet and felting. The latest addition is the webshop Uldbutik.dk
Store Storbjerg
She has always loved needlework, primarily knitting, but also crochet, so she converted part of her home into Storbjerg, which houses both a shop and a café.

Erna Dam
Artist with a passion for creating unique works of art. After spending 8 years abroad, she returned to Denmark five years ago where her creativity flourished. Her art has found its way into many homes, but as the walls of both family and friends are now full, she has decided to share her work with a wider audience.
With a love for both the classic and the modern, she has been drawing and painting since childhood, but it was only after she took early retirement about 15 years ago that her artistic talent became a regular part of her daily life. Each piece is created with care and a deep personal connection.
When it comes to pricing, she uses a simple formula recommended by a colleague: length x width x 0.5. This approach leaves her free to focus on what really matters - creating art that touches and inspires.
Ulla Dennig
About 30 years ago, Ulla Dennig started experimenting with her embroidery using unconventional backgrounds such as metal grids, PVC mats and acrylic. She combines traditional and unorthodox materials to create unique pieces. Her background includes studies in design and embroidery at The Hereford College of Art & Design, England and a number of exhibitions.

ByRanck

Jette Winther Villa Ko
Unique craft company specializing in handmade bags and purses in a wide range of designs.
