Weavers’ Market – Crowd puller for textile lovers

The Weavers’ Market is primarily intended for hand-weavers, local weaving companies and textile creators, who work in a variety of textile techniques. They can present their unique and high-quality products and creations to an interested and knowledgeable audience. ART AUSTRIA Arts and Crafts in Austria has awarded the Weavers´ Market in Haslach the seal of quality and has been ranking it for years number one of the Austrian craft markets. We strive to maintain the high standard of this market. A jury of experts therefore selects a maximum of 100 participants among the applications.
