Craft Alley

Craft Alley is a discreet place in the centre of Turnov, where a world of studios, gallery space and honest handcraft opens up behind the historic town hall. The town of gemstones presents its craft tradition up close here – through glass, porcelain, jewellery, stone and original objects. It is not a large exhibition, but a living space where you can see beauty being created in the hands of real makers.

Craft Alley brings together several art studios and a shared gallery, introducing visitors to crafts connected with Turnov and the wider Crystal Valley. This is where you can look into creative workshops where original jewellery, engraved glass, porcelain objects and works using precious stones are made.

A visit to Craft Alley is interesting mainly because it is not just about finished products in display cases. The process itself matters: the focus at the workbench, the detail of an engraving, the shaping of material or the transformation of an idea into a finished object. By prior arrangement, visitors can also take part in workshops and try selected techniques with their own hands.
