Accepted Answer

We're holding a Maker's Market & Open Day in each of the three Craft Factories:

In Zürich (Albulastrasse 24) on November 29th (12h00-18h00);

In Geneva (La Voie-Creuse 16) on November 30th (12h00-18h00);

In Lausanne (Rue Pré-du-Marché 23) on December 7th (12h00-18h00).

Question 3

Is there an entrance fee?

Accepted Answer

Nope! The entrance is free and you don't need to register, either. Come check out the Craft Factory, meet new people, and shop for handmade quality gifts.

Question 4

Will there be any activities?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You will be able to try your hand at pottery (book here), Christmas ornament decoration, painting Christmas cards, and even make your very own pair of chopsticks. All the workshops will be either free or heavily discounted.

Question 5

What can I buy at the Maker's Market?

Accepted Answer

Our goal is to offer a wide range of handmade, high quality items with a lot of variety in style, material, and price range: from paintings to wooden vases to small leather goods to ceramic tableware and more.

The best part is, you buy directly from the person/people who made these objects with their own hands. Say no to mass-produced, imported, generic, soulless gifts!

Where can I park?

Accepted Answer

Zürich: three spots are available in front of the building (must book in advance here). Alternatively, you can park at Letzipark.

Geneva: there is blue line parking around the building; alternatively, you can park at the P+R Secheron.
