Homo Faber Fellowship

Homo Faber Fellowship is an eight-month international sponsored craft training programme designed for duos of master artisans and emerging talents. Participants will develop business and marketing knowledge, as well as design and hands-on practical skills through transmission from one generation to the next.

The fourth edition will take place from September 2026 to April 2027 and benefit 25 to 30 duos. While the workshops of the master artisans must be based in Europe, we welcome artisans and fellows of all nationalities to apply.
