KreAtiv Blåvand
The well-known puppeteer, artist and children's author from Dortmund, Maik Graf von Leonstein, has his small shop near Netto and WestWind, right on the main street in Blåvand. Here you will find lava lamps, amber angels, mule-shoe bunkers, paintings, artwork made from driftwood and amber, and much more. The shop also hosts puppet theatre performances.
The German artist fell in love with the North Sea's driftwood and amber, which he collects himself, crafts by hand and transforms into beautiful figures and memorable holiday keepsakes.
During the summer, he performs as a puppeteer in his puppet theatre, which has become a popular meeting place and a cherished part of the holiday for many families visiting Blåvand and the surrounding area.
The performances are in German (with one performance each week in Danish during the summer) and usually last 30–40 minutes. It is important to Maik that children do not simply watch the performances but become an active part of them. The performances take place in his shop. Admission is free, but advance booking is always required.
Children's books
(in German – a Danish edition is currently in preparation)
Maik has written two children's books:
- Mikkel and the Secret Life of the Nisser
- Mikkel and the Nisser's Wish Cloth
The stories are about the little Danish nisser while also taking the form of travel adventures. They are set in Blåvand, Vejers, Skallingen, Varde, Fanø and many other places across the region, allowing children to experience the nisser's adventures in the real locations.
Maik is happy to personally sign his books for you in his shop.
