If this is craft then craft as I knew it is truly dead :(

[HandmadeNation]

I wonder what kind of craft you are referring to? I think there are so many differnt types of craft that are thriving today-- this documentary is just showcasing a new generation of makers.

[HandmadeNation]

Thank you all for your positive emails & feedback. It is so very exciting to see that over 6,000 people have taken the time to watch this!

Faythe,

Wow! what an overwhelmingly broad topic! I applaude your "moxy" for taking it on! Whether the projects are whimsical or sophisticated, those in the crafting community are true, serious, artists in their own right, whose expressions bring fun and beauty to others. It is also fun to see the faces of so many familiar names! ;-D

Actually, the whole movement exists to get away from toilet roll cover type crafts. That couldn't be a poorer example of what indie crafters are doing.

This looks like a really fantastic doco- I can't wait till it's finished. As a fellow craftster artist I am so thrilled to see our handmade world expanding, the rise of recycling/reusing/rethinking and the fall of relying on a big factory to give you what you want...art is the best possible way to interact with life. (well, except maybe for love...^_^)

[wheelsfalloff]

I understand this,but the meaning of the word theese days is more often applied to hand knitted toilet roll covers at a flea market as opposed to craft in the realm of high arts, ancient practises and not readily obtained amounts tacit knowledge. From what I see here your definition seems to lean to the former rather than the latter.

I still think what you are doing is a good idea,just trying to point out that some people have a very differing opinions on the use of the word.
