You can find such workshops practically all over the country, but North Jutland have attracted more artists than other regions, creating a special environment that will inevitably capture you as a guest.

Another place where you can meet craftsmen and their products is at one of the many markets for design and crafts, which you can experience several places in North Jutland. These markets are especially numerous during summer and the months before Christmas. The local tourist offices will be able to help you with information about what is going on art-wise in their region.
