Last weekend the first Craft Congress convened in Pittsburgh. The meeting drew together a serious group of who I'd call "craftsters" (makers, organizers, bloggers, etc. that make up the indie craft community) from all over the country. I did not attend, but Christy Petterson, co-editor of Getcrafty.com, wrote a great recap on her blog here. Check it out!
In other indie craft news, the much-anticipated Indie Craft Documentary is reportedly complete, and an 8-minute trailer is available to view online or right below here. Officially titled Handmade Nation: The Rise of D.I.Y. Art, Craft & Design, the film is due for a March 2008 release. If you haven't been following the incredibly dedicated and comprehensive work of filmmakers Faythe Levine & Micaela O'Herlihy, you can catch up with them here.
Craft on!
