TV presenter Madita van Hülsen will accompany the supporting program on the CREATIVA Stage at the weekend and welcome guests such as the current public favourite Manuela Wisbeck, known from “Das große Promibacken”. Further demonstrations and talks will take place on the stages in Hall 7 (Cutting Academy by Plottertante & friends) on the subject of plotting and in Hall 4 on the subject of machine embroidery.
These trends take center stage
Plotting has been a popular handicraft technique in the creative sector for several years now. What initially sounds dry in the definition of “plotting contours from vector graphics on various foils or on paper” (sewsimple.de) unfolds incomparable creativity and exciting possibilities in practice. The well-known content creator Miriam Jug, also known as Plottertante, with a reach of 43,000 followers, will present the various possibilities in more detail with demonstrations and talks. Diamond painting is also particularly popular. This creative technique involves placing small diamonds and glittering stones on a painting. There will not only be exhibitors at CREATIVA, but also workshops.
The new CREATIVA TrendReport will be published again this year with seven creative trends. The trends include simplicity, “exotic and wild”, “fruity and colorful”, “super cute”, “magically fantastic”, vintage and environmental awareness.
SUSTAINABLE CITY: Sustainable design ideas
