We at Do DELFT believe that old crafts should be honored. That is why we introduced the Delft Crafts Walk. During this walk, you will visit three local entrepreneurs who passionately practice their craft and can also tell you all about it in a fun way.

What is the plan?

You will meet our Do DELFT guide in front of the New Church at the Markt. You will go on a walk with him/her for the next 1.5 hours. And… where better to start our Delft Crafts Walk than at Pottery De Candelaer. Steffan has been making Delft Blue pottery in a traditional way since 1975. It is also painted here. The most beautiful plates, bowls, vases and other collector’s items are painted here by him and his colleagues. Did you know that De Candelaer also paints on request? They receive requests from all over the world. Steffan will enthusiastically inform you about his craft.

On the way to the second entrepreneur, our guide will tell you about the crafts of today and the sights in the area. At the Candlemaker “Stads Kaarsenmakerij” in Delft, owner Edward will welcome you with open arms. First he will tell you about making candles and the link between candles and the city of Delft. Then you can get your hands dirty. Because everyone goes home with a candle in their favorite color. The visit to the Stads Kaarsenmakerij ends with coloring your own candle.

We end the walk nicely, because who doesn’t love chocolate? It is only a short walk to Van der Burgh Chocolaad. This exclusive chocolatier was founded in 2011 as a result of an extensive search in the Netherlands for hand-processed chocolate bars. Because the supply was not large, Richard started his own in 2011. The result: the artisanal chocolate was quickly discovered by many chocolate fans and even in the Royal KLM planes, passengers are spoiled with Van den Burgh chocolate. You can hear, smell and taste it all here. Of course you can also buy chocolate, if you want.

The Delft Craft Walk is a fun way to learn more about three local craft entrepreneurs from Delft. We will make the walk in a relaxed way. Of course, you can also ask all your questions.
