ABOUT THE FAIR
SaarbrückenKreativ is an annual consumer exhibition dedicated to arts and crafts, needlework, DIY and creative making. Held at the E WERK Saarbrücken, it is aimed at anyone looking to express their creativity, discover new crafting techniques, or explore and try out high-quality materials and tools firsthand.
The event is organised by Okken GmbH, an experienced exhibition organiser specialising in consumer craft shows and staging similar events at several locations across Germany. As part of an established exhibition series, SaarbrückenKreativ brings together creative enthusiasts from across the country and regularly showcases the latest trends, innovative techniques and new products from the creative industries.
Held once a year, the exhibition offers a comprehensive range of products and inspiration covering arts and crafts supplies, fabrics, wool and yarns, patchwork, sewing, embroidery, felting, as well as art and drawing materials. Other key themes include paper crafts, origami, scrapbooking, rubber stamping, diamond painting, jewellery making with beads and gemstones, traditional crafts, baking and cake decorating. The programme is complemented by DIY kits, creative home décor ideas and a wide selection of materials for personalised craft projects.
One of SaarbrückenKreativ's defining features is its highly interactive, hands-on atmosphere. Numerous exhibitors invite visitors to try out new techniques for themselves through workshops and live demonstrations. Whether jewellery making, blob painting, patchwork, paper cutting, miniature worlds, woodworking, upcycling or creative craft activities for children, practical participation lies at the heart of the event. As well as providing inspiration, the exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to receive expert advice and practical tips from experienced professionals and artists.
Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the creative sector, including arts and crafts suppliers, needlework specialists, fabric and wool retailers, fine art suppliers, jewellery designers, stationery companies, creative technology providers, craft artisans, home décor businesses, baking supply specialists and DIY brands. They showcase high-quality materials, innovative tools, accessories and services for creative hobbies and handcrafted projects.
The exhibition attracts a diverse audience, including hobby crafters, sewing enthusiasts, knitters and crocheters, artists, designers, craft makers, families with children and anyone interested in creative trends or learning new techniques. It is also attended by independent retailers, workshop providers and associations seeking to network and keep up to date with developments across the creative sector.
