THE NEW WAVE OF CRAFT: FILM SCREENING, TALK & BOOKSIGNING

Faythe Levine discusses her book and documentary, Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft and Design, on Saturday, May 2, 2 p.m. and Sunday, May 3, 2p.m. at Modified Arts in Roosevelt Row

Ariz.— Crafters are no longer interested in simply cross-stitching samplers or painting floral scrolls on china. Today's craft movement is creating a new model for small business and community development.

Faythe Levine, (nicknamed "The Ambassador of Handmade" by The New York Times), traveled 19,000 miles to document what has emerged as a marriage between historical technique, punk culture, and the D.I.Y. ethos. She created a film and book by the same name, Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft and Design which provides a microcosm of the crafting community today. Participants in this community share ideas and encouragement through websites, blogs, boutiques, galleries, and craft fairs.

Faythe Levine is a Milwaukee-based artist and major indie-crafts booster. She multi-tasks as a filmmaker, author, independent curator and creative director. Since excerpts of Handmade Nation first appeared on Youtube, Faythe has been traveling around the world promoting this film. Screening cities include Melburne, Australia, Manchester, England and Jonkoping,Sweden and cities across the U.S.

This event is co-sponsored by Changing Hands Bookstore, Frances Vintage Boutique, Future Arts Research Center at A.S.U., Local First, AZ, MADE art boutique, Modified Arts and Roosevelt Row
