Among the contemporary crafts, ceramics and crochet have the largest representation, with seven artisans each, followed by jewellery with six. Macram\u00e9, leatherwork and recycled-material crafts are represented by five artisans each, while fashion and traditional toy making feature four participants each. The exhibition is completed by a wide range of other crafts, including textile decoration, stained glass, candle making, doll making, woodturning, miniatures, paper and cardboard crafts, soap making, and more.<\/p>\n<p>One of this year\u2019s highlights is the participation of four artisans making their debut at the fair, presenting creations in crochet, jewellery and recycled-material crafts.<\/p>\n<p>Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the municipality with the largest representation, with 23 artisans, followed by Ag\u00fcimes and Telde with six each. Four artisans come from San Bartolom\u00e9 de Tirajana, while Santa Luc\u00eda and Ingenio are represented by three each. Valsequillo, Santa Br\u00edgida, Mog\u00e1n, Arucas and Agaete each contribute two artisans, while Vega de San Mateo, Firgas, Teror, Santa Mar\u00eda de Gu\u00eda and G\u00e1ldar are represented by one artisan each.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure a more comfortable experience during the summer season, the fair will open exclusively in the afternoon, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. each day. Visitors will have the opportunity to browse the stalls, meet the artisans while they work, purchase handmade creations and, on selected evenings, enjoy live music performances from 8:00 p.m., adding to the atmosphere of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Vocalist Ana Garc\u00eda opens this year\u2019s cultural programme today. She will be followed on Sunday, 9 August, by violinist \u00d3scar Guerra. Saxophonist Juan Antonio Mart\u00edn and vocal duo Zaida Y Keev will perform on Tuesday, 11 August, and Thursday, 13 August, with a repertoire spanning different musical styles and eras. The programme concludes on Saturday, 15 August, with Parranda Los Apa\u00f1aos, performing a selection of traditional Canarian folk music.<\/p>\n<p>The full programme of activities and the list of participating artisans are available at: <a title=\"feriadeartesaniagrancanaria.es\" href=\"https:\/\/feriasartesaniagrancanaria.es\">feriasartesaniagrancanaria.es<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Gran Canaria Summer South Crafts Fair is promoted and funded by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria through the Foundation for Ethnography and the Development of Canarian Crafts (FEDAC), and organised by Infecar, Gran Canaria Trade Fair.
