Every year in the beginning of November when the Baltic people celebrate Martin's Day, the Estonians gather for their biggest craft market of the year. It was more then a market. More so a celebration of traditional hand crafts. Every year has a theme and this year's theme was appropriate with that thought, "Oma ja armas käsitöö". Roughly traslated as Our Own and Beloved Handicraft.
I, of course went with textile goggles on but there was lots of other wonderful crafts such as ceramics, wood working, basketry, stone carving, jewelry etc. I talked with several weavers and even met Piia Rand, author of ''Estonian Pick-Up Woven Belts''. Regret not taking a picture of the vest she was wearing that was made all of bands.
I took mostly video, which you can see soon on our youtube channel but here are a few photos.
