Programme

This year, you will once again have the opportunity to discover the high-quality craftsmanship of Bern and its surroundings in all its diversity. Around fifty designers are looking forward to welcoming you to their workshops and workplaces. Designers whose workshops are located on the outskirts or outside the city are invited to the Kornhausforum, the main workshop 14B or to a colleague's home.

Come and push open the doors of 21 workshops, where each gesture tells a story and a carefully guarded secret. Explore 6 cultural institutions, which will transport you to a world where tradition dialogues with innovation. Finally, let yourself be captivated by 28 stands at the Sicli Pavilion, a true showcase where the artisanal soul of our canton is revealed in all its facets.

Dive into the heart of artisanal expertise with JEMA! This event opens the doors to approximately 20 artisan and artist workshops, where you can observe their work, interact with them, and even try out some techniques. JEMA is also an opportunity to explore the many training programs and crafts professions. Spanning a week, this unmissable event allows you to better understand a rich and dynamic sector.

This year, the JEMA celebrates its 10th anniversary in the canton of Vaud. 10 years of privileged meetings, 10 years of constant renewal, 10 years of a rare event that places the exchange with exceptional craftsmen and women at the center of its concerns. This edition offers you 45 possibilities for meetings (including 15 new ones), introductory workshops in crafts for children, the participation of 3 cultural spaces, 2 professional schools and a training center.
