(Ellsworth, ME) Two screenings: Friday, October 14 at 7:30pm and Saturday, October 15 at 7:00 pm. The film is in conjunction with the annual Bead, Jewelry & Fiber show on October 14 and 15. Handmade Nation is a documentary film about the modern D.I.Y. crafting community directed by one of its own – Faythe Levine (founder of Milwaukee’s independent craft fair Art vs. Craft as well as co-owner and curator of Paper Boat Boutique & Gallery).

Levine traveled almost 20,000 miles and interviewed countless craftsters and crafty business owners across the United States to document the seemingly all-encompassing crafting community. There has been significant growth in the D.I.Y. crafting movement during the last decade, primarily because of the crafters’ willingness to share ideas and encourage each other by networking on the internet and at independent marketplaces (boutiques, galleries, craft fairs, fashion shows, etc.).

All participants to the Bead, Jewelry & Fiber show can present their ticket stub at the Grand box office to receive a $2.00 discount for movie admission. For more information, please visit the Grand website.
