We promote the artisans and makers of Norway
Read on to find out how we promote the artisans and makers of NorwayHandmade in Norway sprang to life in 2016. I call it my happy accident, because I did not set out to create a large creative network, and I certainly didn’t imagine devoting all of my time to the makers of Norway. But a happy accident it was, and my life has been enriched by it. Now I’m on a mission. This happy accident of mine will benefit others too. We promote the artisans and makers of Norway, and enrich the lives of our audience by telling the world about all the fabulous products being created here!
How did Handmade in Norway start?
It all started with a Facebook group. After a break from creativity, I was keen to get in to contact with other creative people. So I started a Facebook group called Handmade in Norway. The group grew very very quickly. We’re now nearly 3000 members, all of whom live in Norway. As the group grew, so did the ambitions of the members, and it wasn’t long before I was asked to arrange a Christmas market. There were 30 vendors, all with wonderful handmade products. Unfortunately the location wasn’t so wonderful. I learnt a valuable lesson that day, and I was keen to do it again and do it better. Now Handmade in Norway is a company and we promote the artisans and makers of Norway. I’m still arranging markets, and I’m happy to say that they are popular, busy, and filled with the most amazing makers and their products.
