handmade nation

Handmade Nation: The Rise of DIY, Art, Craft, and Design by Faythe Levine and Cortney Heimerl, published by Princeton Architectural Press; 1 edition (October 4, 2008).

Fabulous must have book for all diy crafters and folk who consider themselves part of the handmade nation. Read this article at the New York Times: At home with Faythe Levine.

Inside this book you will find essays and artist/maker showcases from Jenny Hart of sublime stitching, Heidi Kenney of My paper crane, Stephanie Syjuco of Anti-factory, the gals from knitta, Jill Bliss from Blissen, essays from Garth Johnson of extreme craft, Callie Janoff from the Church of craft, Betsy Greer from Craftivism and lots lots more besides. A very interesting and inspiring read.
