Folk Art from the Alps

Swiss folk traditions are as colorful as the landscape itself, and this workshop gives you a chance to step into them. Alongside painting your own cowbell, you can try wood carving, embroidery or even paper cutting—delicate silhouettes that have long decorated alpine homes.

Some sessions also explore lace-making, basket weaving or ceramics, each tied to regional customs that still thrive today. Local artisans guide you through the process while sharing the meaning behind the motifs, from floral patterns to mountain scenes. By the end, you’ll have not just a handmade keepsake, but also an appreciation for how these crafts carry centuries of alpine culture forward in small, beautiful details.
