What Does Handmade Mean to You, Los Angeles?

Buy Handmade Video from Etsy on Vimeo.
Story by Vanessa, weirdwolf Published on November 16, 2008 in Events

What does handmade mean to you, Los Angeles artists and crafters, and you who buy from indie sellers?

At LA Felt Club on November 16th, 2008, from 2pm-6pm (Pacific Time), Tara (Etsy admin weirdwolf and video shooter) wants to meet you and tape very short (15 second) individual videos. Please bring something handmade you've bought or made and tell us why you buy/wear/sell/gift handmade. There will be a sign up sheet and each shoot will only take a few minutes. So pop by and help us spread the word about the handmade movement!

These videos will be used on Etsy's blog and BuyHandmade.org as part of the Handmade Consortium, among other places.

Not in LA or can't make it to Felt Club? Here's the perfect excuse to try making your own quick video! Here are some suggestions and here are our Getting Started in Video How-tos.

Comment below if we'll see you there!

Wow- I especially loved the guy who buys handmade to fill the emptiness. Considering all of the space in between molecules in the universe, that's good news for the Etsy market :)

I really really wanted to go - got up a bit early, got out some cash, packed some clothes for the swap-o-rama, got the kids all excited about seeing DJ Lance Rock. We got there a little after 11am and the line to get in was CRAZY long! It looked like it would take at least an hour just to get in the door, we decided it was too much and bailed. I'm bummed that we didn't get to go, but happy for all the sellers there - hopefully they all got lots of sales.
