Handmade Future
HANDMADE FUTURE is an award winning film that follows artisans in six countries protecting heritage, confronting complex middlemen, and advancing responsible trade — pushing back against fast, cheap production to quietly restore a frayed world through beauty and human connection. Two of our makers are featured in this film and we encourage you to see it!
The film is screening at festivals and special events in 2026. See the current screening dates here with links for tickets and details.
