Seiffen, ORE MOUNTAINS, GERMANY
When the silver mines of the Erzgebirge shut down in the 1700s, families turned their lathes to toys and ornaments, and a world famous folk tradition was born.
Today these pieces are still made by hand in small, family run woodshops, many of them carrying the craft forward exactly as their parents taught them.FROM OUR COMMUNITY
