We're bringing The Working Artisans’ Club to Munich
- Text by HUCK HQ

The Working Artisans’ Club is a celebration of modern-day makers, and springs to life as an immersive exhibition and series of workshops at Munich’s Art:ig Galerie, October 17-19.
Over the course of 2013 Huck met six artisans who are shaping their future with their own two hands. For 2014, the Club expanded to include six more creative makers from across Europe. They build guitars, shape boards and hand-make beautiful objects inspired by their passion for the outdoors. And they make life better for us all. And on October 16 those stories will spring to life as an immersive multi-media exhibition. Join us!
In 1952, Jack O’Neill invented the wetsuit so that he could stay in the water longer. His simple ambition led to an extraordinary future, both for himself and the surfing world as a whole. The Working Artisans’ Club is the next chapter in that story – a celebration of modern makers, artisans and innovative craft-folk, culminating in an immersive exhibition at Art:ig, Munich.
