Arts & crafts

You can hardly move on Bornholm without meeting an artist or craftsperson.

Some of them like to live quietly and unobtrusively while acting out their creative urges. You have to go looking for their work.

Other artists are highly visible and have shops, open workshops and galleries. You'll be fascinated by all the exciting work on show. 

Like you, they are inspired by the light and scenery on the island. This is reflected in every branch of arts and crafts. 

The ceramicists are inspired by the high-quality clay of Bornholm, which has provided the raw material for stoneware and ceramics - whether in mass production or as a craft - for several hundred years.

The past 20 years have seen glassblowing flourish on the island, with striking works of design and art being created . The Glass and Ceramics College in Nexø is visible proof of the high standard - which is raised every year thanks to the college.

Silversmiths, sculptors, carpenters, textile artists and jewellery makers have also made their way to the island, however. Many have opened galleries and workshops.

The Bornholm Museum is another good source of inspiration if you want to know more about art and culture on Bornholm. Apart from this, you can also visit the three other museums Erichsens Gaard, Hjorths Factory and Melstedgård.
