A Nice Convo

I recently got a convo in my Etsy box from a guy looking for stores in Munich that sell handmade, specifically Etsy handmade products. Below is my answer. I posted it on my Blog about Munich, and also thought I'd post it here, since it is highly relevant, and many of you may recognize yourselves :-)

------------------------------

Hello, Well you aren't bothering me at all, and as a matter of fact I do know of some shops in Munich that sell handmade goods, here a few that come to mind:

The Kreative in München Group
While this is not a shop per se, it is a group of very talented (mostly) Etsy sellers that put on craft fairs (often sponsored by Etsy) around the city relatively often. You can click on their website above or join
their Facebook page to keep up to date with their latest sales.

Hands Gallery
This shop is run by a member of the Etsy Germany Team and just recently opened in Haidhausen and sells products from a variety of talented local makers.


Vier Werkstatten - Muenchen.de listing (in German)
This is a wonderful store on Frauenhoferstr. While not every single item in the store is handmade, most of the work is from talented local artisans including a paper lamp designer and ceramicist. There are also lots of handmade clothing items.


1260 Grad
This is a gorgeous pottery studio, also in Haidhausen. It is run by Petra Fischer, a very talented ceramicist. Most days she is in the store herself, and it's nice to go in and just admire the artful way she displays all her items.
I wrote a little post about the store on my blog Wahlmüncherin (with pictures) I'm sure there are many more and I am slowly discovering new ones, but I hope this is enough to get you started!

Cheers, Eleanor

Work in Progress im CeramicStudio

Heute lässt uns Gaby vom CeramicStudio mal hinter ihre Kulissen schauen. Seit etwa 2 Jahren macht sie mit Vorliebe Seifenablagen, die sie auf Märkten und online verkauft. Einige Seifenschalen wurden extra in Zusammenarbeit mit Seifenherstellern entworfen.  Mal sehen wie der letzte Brand geworden ist.


Die Seifenschalen wurden sehr aufwendig hergestellt, sie wurden von Hand aus Tonplatten geschnitten, mit keramischen Farben bemalt und mit verschiedenen Glasuren gebrannt. Am Schluss folgte bei einigen noch ein Brand mit echtem Gold, d.h. die Seifenablagen ( sie werden auch oft als Schmuckablagen verwendet) wurden insgesamt 4 mal gebrannt, bis sie fertig sind. Neue Projekte stellt Gaby auf ihrem Blog vor.
