Join us for a week of craft, community, and connection.
Von Hand is a gathering for anyone drawn to traditional and land-based crafts — for people who love working with their hands and creating in community. Come gain new experiences, learn both old and new techniques, and be inspired by a community of makers.
From Sunday afternoon, August 2nd to Saturday midday, August 8th, we’ll share a full week of workshops in basketry, sandal making, weaving, dyeing, carving, turning, forging, and more. Workshops open for pre-booking in mid-March, with remaining spots available to book onsite. Evenings are for music, stories, and gathering around the campfire.
*Food & Workshops are paid in addition to the general ticket.
Each year, we coordinate extra free and fun activities alongside the workshops as part of the festival. (See more here - coming soon!)
Sliding Scale Ticket Details
Von Hand uses a sliding-scale ticket system to keep the festival both sustainable and accessible.
Every ticket includes the same experience — paying more, if you’re able, helps support the real costs of the gathering and makes lower-cost tickets possible. We trust you to choose the tier that fits your current financial reality.
This event is organized under nonprofit association Myrstack (means Anthill - inspired by “many hands make light work” ) - To make a tax deductible donation please go here.
Please click the details on each tier to read more.

150€ — Low Income Ticket
This tier is for folks who would otherwise struggle to attend.
It contributes toward festival operating costs but does not cover the full per-person cost of participation — the difference is supported by those paying higher tiers.
Please choose this option if paying more would create financial strain. We trust you to select the level that honestly reflects your current financial reality.
-
This is the true cost of taking part in Von Hand.
Choosing this ticket helps cover the core infrastructure and practical framework that allow the festival to happen — the shared spaces, shelters, equipment, logistics, and essential on-site support that keep things running smoothly.
If this price is within reach for you, choosing this tier plays an important role in keeping the festival stable, well-supported, and able to return each year.

220€ — Supporter Ticket
This tier helps offset low-income tickets and strengthens the financial resilience of the festival.
If you’re financially comfortable, this is a meaningful way to support the people and materials that make Von Hand possible.

Workshops are booked in addition to tickets and will be available for booking mid March.
They will range in price from 35€ - 265€ depending on length (average about 90-110€ per day). Workshops will range from ½ day to 3 days in length. Some will require an additional material fee paid directly to the instructors.

In the case of a cancellation on your part we can refund the amount paid for tickets and workshops minus a 5% processing fee no later than July 2nd. Refunds made closer to the festival will be processed on a case by case basis.
Unfortunately, there is a certain risk to organize such a festival. We are confident that everything can take place as planned. However, we cannot exclude that we might have to cancel a workshop, or in the worst case scenario the festival, at short notice. Should this be the case, we will of course refund the amount for your already booked tickets and courses. However, we ask for your understanding that in this case we retain 5% processing fee in order to be able to reverse transactions.
We appreciate your cooperation.
