First-time director Faythe Levine traveled across the U.S. in 2006 to document what she calls “the new wave of art, craft, and design” in America. What resulted from this journey is Handmade Nation, the much anticipated documentary and it’s accompanying book available through Amazon.


Levine interviewed 80 artists in their homes and studios to capture the growing “art community that is based on creativity, determination, and networking.” They are individuals who value handmade over mass-produced items and understand the time and commitment that goes into each item.

Screenings for the documentary have already begun. For details on upcoming screenings, visit the documentary’s website. You can also watch a preview of the film.

I will be seeing Handmade Nation in May and I am extremely excited to see the film after reading the book.
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments about Handmade Nation.
