1st - 4th October 2026
Craftİstanbul 7th International Handicrafts and Design Fair serves as an international meeting platform bringing together artisans, designers, cultural institutions, collectors, and handicraft enthusiasts. It aims to strengthen the visibility of handicraft communities, support artisans in accessing new markets, and encourage dialogue between traditional hand craftsmanship and contemporary design practices.
The fair, which exclusively showcases handicrafts, and which excludes bijouterie and industrial products, brings together artisans, associations, cooperatives, local authorities, workshops and university design departments, development agencies, and craft villages from foreign countries.
Throughout the fair, there are talks, panels, workshops, clothing and fashion shows, and musical performances. This year a special section has been set aside indoors for the sale and tasting of geographically indicated products in packaged form. In the open-air area, there will be opportunities for cooking demonstrations and workshops.
More information on exhibitors coming soon.
