ARTS CRAFTS, ANTIQUES & GALLERIES
Look forward to visiting the artists and craftsmen at the
Top of Denmark – perhaps you’ll make a real find and
take a unique holiday memory home with you that’ll
provide delight for years to come.
Arts and crafts give you something extra to take home with you
– an extra dimension to your experience of a country or a region.
Standing exactly where a work of art came to life and seeing
what the painter or potter saw are unique experiences. Perhaps
you found a piece of amber on the beach and then had it transformed
into a beautiful piece of jewellery at the amber polisher’s.
Craftsmen are an important part of life at the Top of Denmark.
Potters, glass-blowers and many other craftsmen are inspired –
just like painters – by the special light and the great contrasts
in both landscape and living conditions. The stormy sea and the
windswept land have fascinated artists for generations – and
still do today. The region is known for its diversity of artists and
craftsmen, many of whom you can meet in galleries and workshops.
Here painters, sculptors, potters, glass artists, amber polishers
and many others practise their craft. Many artists open their
studio or workshop to the general public. Some put on special
events in which guests get an introduction to the art form and
have the chance to try their hand with brush and colours. The
majority of craftsmen have a gallery or shop adjacent to their
workshop, and it always adds a little something to buy directly
from the artist.
