18th Annual Artisan Market comes to Western New York!
Hamburg, N.Y. –Warmer weather, longer days and the rejuvenation of nature, must mean Spring is here. It also signals the beginning of market season and the arrival of Springtime in the Country, Western New York’s premier Artisan Market.
This year’s edition of Springtime in the Country highlights products that reinvigorate yourself, your home and your yard. More than 200 artisans from across the country will feature spa-quality bath and beauty supplies, gourmet foods and wine, home and garden décor, handcrafted furniture, handmade clothing, designer jewelry and spring florals. The event promises to be the perfect destination for seasonal gift buying.
This year, Springtime in the Country will feature Artisan Demonstrations and The Artisan Showcase highlighting practical, everyday uses of selected handcrafted products from participating artisans. The showcase is sponsored by Ben’s Landscaping and A Gently Used Home Store and Epic Services – Garden Sheds.
Community marketplaces have enjoyed a resurgence over the past several years, as people look to keep their purchases meaningful and local. “Much like farmer’s markets in the summer, Springtime in the Country gives you the opportunity to buy straight from the source, and of course, the quality is unsurpassed,” notes Daniel Kaczynski of Premier Promotions. “Springtime in the Country gives a high profile outlet to artists and artisans who may not otherwise be able to effectively reach their audience.
These are handcrafted, American made products and the people creating them represent the very best of the small business person,” added Kaczynski. Each master craftsperson taking part in Springtime in the Country must pass a strict jury process in which their work is judged. This procedure ensures the quality and integrity of the artisan and their work
Springtime in the Country, ranked one of America’s Top 25 Artisan Marketplaces, features artisans from 17 different states. They include a number of exhibitors who have never exhibited in Western New York including: Ihor Barabakh from Brooklyn NY, who creates exquisite wearable art; Nina Gold from West Sunbury, PA, who crafts intricate clay flowers; Mark and Janice Panty from Ehers, PA who make botantically inspired hotplates and Meagan McCrory from Springville, with original batiks and prints.
