ARTISTS WANTED FOR
NEW INTERNET GALLERY

Made In Sheffield Dot Com is inviting local artists
and craft workers to take part in a new Internet Gallery, which is
set to open in Orchard Square’s Craft Centre in March.

The gallery will offer traditional Sheffield made
products for sale along with contemporary art and craftwork,
from jewellery and ceramics to photography and sculpture.

"We’re looking for high quality products and
artwork that is worthy of the hallmark of ‘Made in Sheffield’,"
explained Managing Director Wendi Hebb.

Visitors will be able to use the gallery’s
Internet link to view the Made In Sheffield Dot Com web site
(at www.made-in-sheffield.com). Here they can shop on-line in
the Made In Sheffield Cyberstore which will offer over 300
products from local manufacturers and craftworkers.

"Shopping on the Internet is still a relatively
new idea for most people, so the gallery will provide a tangible
link between the products and our web site – just like a mail order
catalogue shop but with everything on-line," said Wendi.

Sheffield based artists and craft workers
can also join the Made In Sheffield Arts Directory for free, if they
apply before March 6. The on-line directory already includes over
60 artists and makers, covering ceramics, furniture, jewellery,
sculpture, photography and textiles.

For more details about the Made In Sheffield Internet Gallery,
or for an Arts Directory application form, please contact Sales
Co-ordinator Amanda Bramall on 0114 249 3770.
