Happy New Year 2025!
As we kick off 2025, NCA is hard at work planning for our spring show. Mark your calendars for the Spring In Bloom Craft Show on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School, Orleans. Members' application open January 18th and non-members open on Saturday, February 1st. There’s been a lot of interest, so don’t delay in applying. We look forward to seeing you again and welcoming new artisans.
​
You, our followers are the reason our shows have been successful. We promise to continue to bring you quality unique handcrafted items you’ll love, all made by local artisans.
​
The Spring In Bloom Show will not disappoint, offering:
​
 New and returning artisans with their amazing handcrafted items.
 One-of-a-kind items. Our artisans are very creative.
 A silent auction with fabulous items donated by local artisans.
 Sir Wil students and staff will hold a canteen as fundraiser for upcoming special projects.
 Demonstrations by several crafters’ Guilds (more info to follow at a later date).

Join us at the Spring In Bloom show where artisans and shoppers come together to share the love of quality handmade work.
