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.<\/p>\n

What is the plan?<\/p>\n

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\u2026 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re ending the walk on a high note, because who doesn\u2019t love cookies? It\u2019s just a short walk to Cookie Bakery De Glimlach. Marc and Mariska have turned their hobby, which got a bit out of hand, into their profession. You can smell the scent of cookies all along the street, and the stories about making them make your mouth water, let alone when you taste them. Our stop at this cookie bakery is always cozy and delicious. Of course, you can also buy cookies if you like.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
