Stock Photo - 02 December 2021, Saxony, Seiffen: Finished heads for nutcrackers lie in the show workshop of the Seiffener Volkskunst eG. The handicraft business now has its hands full in the run-up to Christmas. The range of the wooden toy makers includes around 400 motifs, from nutcrackers to smoking men with balls. The second Corona Christmas season affects the Seiffen folk art as well as the other manufacturers and dealers of Erzgebirge folk art. The toy village has considerably fewer guests compared to the Advent season before the pandemic. However, the cooperative has already greatly expanded its online business in 2020. The pandemic accelerates the upheaval in the industry, the change in distribution channels. Photo: Hendrik Schmidt/dpa-Zentralbild/ZB. - Seiffen/Saxony/Germany
