The master violin maker Jürgen Manthey builds stringed instruments – violins, violas and cellos – following classical models which he recreates by purely handcrafting them using high-quality woods and self made oil varnish.

The results are instruments that come very close to the originals both in sound and appearance.

His instruments, which have been awarded numerous prizes for sound and construction, enjoy an international reputation and are played by many professional musicians.

Since 2016, ceramist Helene Scharge has been specialising in the development of a utility tableware made of handmade, through-dyed porcelain in her own porcelain workshop.

The multi-functionality of the individual pieces creates a pleasant reduction to a few, balanced clear forms. These serve all essential requirements, are harmoniously coordinated with each other and effectively accentuate food and drinks.

The production of this very special collection is truly a technical challenge for the exceptionally experienced porcelain designer.

Goldsmith and designer Cathleen Kämpfe creates jewellery and body-related objects.

In addition to easily wearable pieces, she also creates experimental objects. As well she is working with local materials, such as tiles that have fallen from the walls of the old building Feinkost Art and Craft Cooperative, were her studio is located. Her work is not only aesthetic but also meaningful.

The pieces serve as a connection to one's own emotions. They open up room for interpretation, giving customers the opportunity to establish an individual connection to them.

In workshops and her podcast GLANZ&KANTE, she shares her knowledge about sustainability and goldsmithing.

The goldsmith and designer Luise Neugebauer knows the art of enlivening the classical jewellery repertoire with lightness and refined surprises.

Unusual materials such as porcelain foil and graphic elements become a natural part of her jewellery, made of recycled gold and silver.

Using her jewellery collections, which playfully follow the philosophy of "less is more" without much pomp, she creates individual pieces of jewellery made to measure and for every occasion.

Anne Kaden is a silversmith, industrial designer and owner of Atelier ANNE KADEN - Schmuck und Gerät (Jewellery and Utensils) in Leipzig.

She combines her expertise in craftsmanship with the research for new and creative forms of expression. On Iceland she discovered how metal and earth can be merged with the heat of fire to create a new and unique piece of jewellery.
wie sich Metall und Erde mit der Hitze des Feuers zu einem neuen, einzigartigen Schmuckstück vereinen lassen.

The fascination and special magic of such creative moments accompany her from then on. She named her unique pieces made of 925 silver „MEMENTO"; they are souvenirs of a place, a person or memories of special moments.

For the architect Angela Wandelt, wearing hats is an expression of personality and individuality. She herself has been wearing and collecting hats since her youth and taught herself the craft of hat making.

She finally founded "Gela-Hats" and created a place for very individual fashion in Leipzig. Soon her creations were also enthusiastically received at the trade fairs in New York, Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna.

"Fashion is ephemeral. Style never" This insight of Coco Chanel has been adopted by the hat designer.
