A documentary

Tonight we went to see the documentary Handmade Nation in preparation for Artscape this weekend. A majority of the crafters interviewed were crafters we represented at the Creating Place in Juneau, AK.

If you are a crafter or creative person I think you will enjoy this film. It was inspirational for both of us. Check your local listing for showings in your area (it will be available on DVD in September from www.buyolympia.com).

There was a question and answer session with film maker Faythe Levine I enjoyed equally as much as the film itself. She mentioned she will be traveling to Alaska promoting Handmade Nation in the future.

The closest location for a screening is either Houston or Mexico City! This looks wonderful! I'll definitely be watching when it gets to DVD...will be the inspiration I'm needing...other than you that is!
