Worth a couple of hours. Very good Glass (GOZO Glass), Lace, Leather, Pottery, Metalwork and foodstuffs. There is an excellent air conditioned patisserie which is a must. Range of pasties, cakes and desserts to die for.
There is an ATM outside but nearly all the shops take a card. Friendly people who are happy to chat. The Village is modern block buildings so not particular attractive in itself but the contents of the shops are good and many of the items are made on site and you can see the workshops and items being made.

Using a mobility scooter was very difficult. Avoid what look like concrete ramps. I was ejected from my Minimus scooter and landed on my derrière and bumped my head. This was near Gozo glass shop. The neighbouring shopkeeper was exceedingly help and assisted my family in picking me up. Two very kind local ladies also immediately offered assistance.
Never the less there are no ramps suitable to go from the road to the pavements.

Visited Maria's lace shop and it was a fantastic experience. Home made high quality lace and was welcomed by a very kind man (the owner) who explained to us in detail all his quality products. Definitely recommend.

Local crafts, several units closed/empty. Worth a visit but not a long one! Usual lace, glass , pottery and jewellery and souvenirs.
Bit of a missed opportunity, could be so much better.

Went for a nice day out. Avoid Maria's Crafts and Yarn. Verbally aggressive shopkeeper comes charting at your shouting and spiting pointing fingers 2cm from your face. Horrible horrible old man.

Sadly due to the knock on effect of covid some stores are closed, but the unlike many tourist craft centres the items at Ta' Dbiegi Crafts Village our genuinely made by local artisans and the best way to help too rebuild is to visit. We had visited in the past and there were still some great original gifts. We visited both the cafes and we were not disappointed. Good value for money around. Well worth a short detour. No where is that far to travel on Gozo!

I have been to Maria's lace and Yarn at ta' Dbiegi. It was a pleasant experience with so many things to see. The owner was very helpful. It was very strange to see comments that he was rude and shouting at clients. I am sure there was a reason for this since he was very gentle with us and gave us useful advice before we bought products from his place.

To the West of the island of Gozo is the town of GHARB. On the local map it will show Craft Village. This is a must to visit. It is like a little village you can either park outside or park within. Depending on the season you visit. There are many little huts that have the most creative and artistic people who you will ever meet. They are so kind, passionate about their art and so ready to explain how they go about this art. Once you see them at work you will appreciate the products and the price. When you figure that all there products are exported from this treasure island to UK!!! Places like Harrods, John Lewis & Liberty. I enjoyed the following:
1. Gozo Glass 26/7 Ta' Dbiegi Craft Village, Frangisk Portelli Street, Fharb, Gozo, Malta www.gozoglass.com
This is a family run business and the mother and father are in the store. When you enter you walk into the glass blowing section of the factory. The sons are the masters in the glass making. When you enter the shop it is like you have died and gone to heaven, the colours and the type of products. It is out of this world. They even sell the seconds as they call it, which is where the products broke off or did not get finished. We had a lovely chat with the owners and learnt about the art.
2. The Leather House. 25 Ta' Dbiegi Crafts Village, Gharb GRB 1143, Gozo Malta tel: +356 9982 3638 / 9920 4931
Manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers of customised leather garments & Accessories. As you walk into the shop you can smell the leather. The real stuff no FAKES!!! There is a nice shop floor and you are able to peer over the side and see the alladins cave, loads of machinary and again a family run business, mother and father hand stitching the products. very friendly and willing to explain the process. You can even call them and send measurements and they can do a unique jacket for you, skirt you name it , they will make it possible!!!!
3. Ta Dbiegi Jewellery, Workshop- Shop 1, Craft Village, St Lawrence GRB104, Gozo , Malta. Tel: 21553722
www.starwebmalta.comtadbiegijewellery.htm
A lovely little store run by a husband and wife team. All made of real silver. It is amazing how this man has created, designed and made all the variety of jewellery that I saw, Chains, earrings, braclets from cheap Euro 4.50 up to Euro 1000. He can make custome pieces and the love and care put into the products is so great. I bought myself a beautiful necklace with a sea horse pendant.
You must visit this unique village and experience the pleasure that I saw in the love and care the artists take. Enjoy !!!

Dropped in while on Gozo
Husband brought a leather belt for €12 which they kindly made more holes free of charge
Would have liked to seen the glass maker in action, some of the things for sale were lovely

Some lovely craft stores here - all very friendly people with some beautiful crafted products for sale.
Metalwork, Glasswork, Artwork, Pottery, Candles and so much more - it's a lovely place and you should really check it out if in Gozo.
Also, the Cafe is lovely - beautiful tasty food all with a friendly smile.
Good choice for vegetarians too.
It's easy to find, and parking is easy... right out the front of the village.
Almost forgot to mention, there's a great Leather store selling belts, jackets, bags, wallets.
I bought an amazing wallet at an amazing price.
Love this place, could go back again and again.
