A Note from Our Founder
As a maker myself, I understand the challenges that come when building a creative business.
Handmade in Norway was created to offer community, it is a network intent on turning the dream of a sustainable creative business into a reality.
There’s no need to go it alone, when you can build your business with a whole community behind you.
Building a business can be lonesome, and sometimes overwhelming. That’s why we encourage makers to work together and grow together. Our Inner Circle members get access to all of our events, markets, and programs, so that we can knock overwhelm out of the picture, and keep ourselves motivated whilst we’re at it.
