Have you always wanted to do some willow braiding? Have a conversation with artist Folkert de Jong? Or learn more about the history of the Kunstfort, the Defence Line of Amsterdam, or about the works of art on the fort island?

From Saturday, April 19 through Monday, April 21, Kunstfort Vijfhuizen will participate in the national Defence Heritage Weekend. The program includes ecological and historical tours, an Open Studio moment with artist Folkert de Jong, and a craft workshop weaving with willow twigs from our own golden willows.

Come celebrate heritage with us!
