Amsterdam House of Arts & Crafts

This is who we are

Amsterdam House of Arts & Crafts is an inspiring place in the center of Amsterdam. The grand building houses a large studio for handmade shoes, bags and other leather products, a beautiful exhibition space and a garden. Jouw stoute schoenen is the main tenant of the large studio, but independent outsider artist can also find a spot here, as well as the workshops and courses by Megan Alter Photography. The flexible workspaces are being let to all kinds of freelancers. 

Yoga studio Yogalab is currently occupying the exhibition space, but from September onwards it will be used for workshops, exhibitions, and meetings. Amsterdam House of Arts & Crafts promotes craftmanship and exchanging knowledge, but doesn't shy away from using modern technology. The studio is a place for experimenting and the courses and workshops emphasise the importance of do-it-yourself, and transferring and acquiring knowledge.

During WeMakeThe.City, Amsterdam House of Arts & Crafts opens its doors, for everyone interested to have a look. There are guided tours and you can make your own WeMakeThe.City keychain from waste materials from the art studio. 

The guided tour is free of charge. Do you have a Festival Pass? Then sign up for the workshop for free.
