Simcoe, On – October 27, 2014 The Norfolk Arts Centre is pleased to present the 5th annual Made in Norfolk Show and Sale, running November 1st to 30th, Monday through Saturday from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. For the month of November the Norfolk Arts Centre will turn the ground floor gallery space into a gift shop that exclusively features handcrafted, original work by Norfolk County artists and artisans. This event includes a wide range of unique, high-quality items reasonably priced between $5 and $200.

Made in Norfolk is now in its 5th year of operation. Though it has undergone many changes in that time, the impetus behind the event remains the same – to showcase the talents of Norfolk County artists and artisans and make original fine art and artisanal crafts accessible to the broader community.

Many of this year’s participants have been a part of the event since its inception in 2010. The ongoing involvement of individuals such as professional potter, Joseph Panacci and textile artist, Lisa Fraser have helped establish the benchmarks for quality and their work is greatly anticipated by returning patrons.

In addition, the show and sale is refreshed annually with the presentation of work by first-time contributors. Though new to Made in Norfolk some of these are veterans in their trade, such asSuzanne Andrews, a maker of hand spun designer yarns who has been a master spinner for over 30 years. Other new participants, such as Amber Kalmar who designs and creates hand-made, precious metal jewelry, are young artists and artisans who are just embarking on their professional careers.

Made in Norfolk provides patrons with a great selection of handmade products. Visit the Norfolk Arts Centre during the month of November to enjoy this once-a-year event, featuring new work by some of Norfolk County’s finest artists and artisans.
