We’ve been waiting to see Faythe Levine’s Handmade Nation ever since we saw her talk at last spring’s Craft Con 2008 in San Francisco.
We loved the film’s behind-the-scenes approach to the indie craft and D.I.Y. movement that has swept across the nation over the last decade. (For background, check out the story the New York Times did on Levine last fall.)
Tonight, San Francisco crafters, indie fans and D.I.Y.-ers will congregate en masse at mezzanine to watch the film, presented by the San Francisco Film Society.
After the screening, such local art and design mavens as Lisa Congdon of Rare Device and Natalie Zee Drieu of Craft Magazine will lead a discussion about the film and the D.I.Y. craft movement.
And because it wouldn’t be a true indie event without handcrafted wares for sale, there will be local vendors selling work. Keep your eyes peeled for:
- Mittenmaker
- Nous Savon
- Sharon Spain
- Needles & Pens
- Cara Lyndon
- Little Otsu
- Rare Device
- Miss Natalie
- Woolly Hoodwinks
- Zum
- The Curiosity Shoppe
- Dutch Door Press
- Diana Fayt
