the revolution of handmade

Across north america, a resurgence of handmade is sweeping from a very grassroots level into mainstream culture...

We are witnessing a desire for consumers to consume consciously...a re-evalution of the nature of consumption.When you are purchasing from local artists and designers,you are making a choice to  support sustainable economies based upon local production. Buying from a local artisan means that you are aligning yourself with independent, creative thinking that is outside of the mainstream, away from the big box stores that have permeated our cities and towns. A hand made object offers a unique, one of a kind item that has been lovingly and creatively touched by the hand of the maker.
