The Portland premiere of Handmade Nation will be happening at the Museum of Contemporary Craft on April 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Yes, that's right, demand is so great that a third screening was just added. If you are in the Portland area be sure to check it out. The Museum of Contemporary Craft has been a big supporter of the film and its director, Faythe Levine, as well as a long-time stockist of Sublime Stitching patterns. There are loads of other crafty activities taking place at the museum that weekend, which you can read all about here.
In other exciting Handmade Nation news, Faythe recently traveled to Stitches and Craft, Australia's largest craft show, where the film had its down-under premiere. While there, she had a great chat with Rayna of Radical Cross-Stitch and you can listen to the podcast.
