The Green Coast Handicraft Fair/ "DUART" returns, an evening dedicated to art and craftsmanship
The Handicraft Fair has returned for the fourth consecutive year to Green Coast, this time under the concept "DUART", which focuses on handwork, materials and the creative process behind each craft.
Artisans from various fields brought to the seaside promenade works in ceramics, wood and glass, jewelry, sculptures, rugs and macrame, handmade bags, as well as candles, soaps, perfumes and many other creations.
Artisans: " I say that these fairs are the engine that makes us continue and always be in motion to always be in constant creativity, because the more such fairs are held, the closer we are to people, and our works are more tangible and we are always encouraged to create new things to always be closer to our loved ones. "
Artisans: " They are interested, because there are also many foreigners here and foreigners are always more interested in handicrafts that are made by hand, handmade. "
Artisan: “ The greatest satisfaction is when you see that people like the things you make .”
This year, the experience was enriched with two masterclasses dedicated to the creation of perfumes and candles, where participants had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the creation process, experiment with different scents and materials, and create their own product.
Masterclass participant: “ I had never done candle work before, so I joined the masterclass and it was a really nice experience. It was very calming and very creative. ”
Masterclass participant: “ It was a new experience to learn something different about candles, the way of decorating, how they melt, the process, it was something very special. ”
The fair attracted local and foreign visitors, who throughout the evening were able to meet artisans, discover various handicraft techniques, and become an active part of creative experiences.
Vacationer: “ I like it a lot, they are all handmade here and they are made by hand. They bring more people together, they are beautiful things, I like it a lot. ”
Holidaymaker: " It's very nice that people manage to do something like this for the people who come, especially for tourists, and to show the beauty of Albania, it's something very special. It's the first time we've come here and it's wonderful ."
Through activities that bring together art, culture and creativity, Green Coast continues to enrich the summer calendar with events that give a special dimension to the seaside experience and create moments of encounter between people, art and Albanian tradition.
