Where craftsmanship, art and skill come together.

Houtfort brought together 37 exhibitors at Fort bij Vechten, filling the historic location with craftsmanship, creativity, and passion. From furniture makers and woodturners to sculptors and artists who create their own paper, the diversity showcased the richness and versatility of the craft. Live demonstrations by skilled artisans gave visitors not only the opportunity to admire unique creations, but also an inspiring glimpse behind the scenes.

Together, these exhibitors created an impressive and atmospheric presentation of the very best the world of woodworking has to offer.

From traditional craftsmanship to innovative wood art, the event brings to life a craft that deserves to be passed on to future generations. It highlights the importance of allowing both young and old to continue seeing, feeling, and experiencing what can be created with wood. This is made possible by dedicated makers.

Houtfort is known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere. During the weekend, visitors connect not only with exhibitors, but also with like minded creators who share the same passion. It is a place to inspire one another, discover new techniques, exchange tips and tricks, and elevate each other’s work to a higher level. This sense of connection is what makes Houtfort unique and stronger every year.
