The Idea of Sustainability Inundates the Handmade Scene

Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft and Design  




"I believe the simple act of making something, anything, with your hands is a quiet political ripple in a world dominated by mass production... and people choosing to make something themselves will turn those small ripples into giant waves" Faythe  Levine.  In 2006, Ms Levine travelled to 15 cities and interviewed 80 artisans to create a documentary chronicling the indie craft movement, which is currently available in both book and dvd format. "the shift from fine art making to crafting is a logical one for many artist, who want to make usable items that remain meaningful" from a review by 'Trie.
