9th Creative Hobbies Market of Grandpuits-Bailly-Carrois

The Grandpuits Creative Hobbies Market: 9 years of shared passion

For its 9th edition, the Grandpuits-Bailly-Carrois creative hobbies market confirms its status as a reference event for the DIY and handmade community in Seine-et-Marne. This specialized event brings together every late January amateur and professional exhibitors, independent creators, specialized shops, and demonstrators around a common passion: handcrafts and creativity.

500 sqm dedicated to creativity

On its 500 square meters of exhibition, the market offers a complete overview of contemporary creative hobbies. Visitors discover a multitude of techniques and products: scrapbooking and cardboard craft supplies, decorative papers, stamps, inks, sewing and patchwork supplies, fabrics, yarns, beads, jewelry findings, wooden supports, paints, brushes, molds, modeling accessories, embroidery kits, technical books and patterns.

Demonstrations and sharing of know-how

One of the specificities of this market is the place given to live demonstrations. Throughout the day, workshops and presentations allow visitors to discover new techniques, ask questions to creators, and leave with new ideas. This participatory dimension makes the market much more than a simple commercial show: it is a real place of exchange and learning.

A passionate and loyal audience

The market attracts a large and loyal audience every year, sometimes coming from afar to enjoy the diversity of offerings and the quality of exhibitors. Creative hobbies have been experiencing growing popularity in recent years, driven by the desire for personalization, the urge to create unique objects, and the search for moments of relaxation and concentration away from screens.
