Local production is a deep long term trend corresponding to a need of roots and proximity. In Brooklyn a project called Made by Hand aims to promote what is made locally, sustainably, and with a love for craft. The project takes its influence from the handmade movement here and elsewhere.The things we collect, consume, use, and share are part of who we are as individuals. The food that we eat says something about each of us, as do the tools we buy. Objects that are in our space tell stories on us and on the people who made them.
