Wow… an amazing sounding film about cool people making cool things!

(from the wellingtoncreative website): “The documentary is about the new wave of art, craft and design and how these mediums are being reinvented from granny style cross-stitch to modern works of art in their own right.”

The poster seems to be marketing it toward people wanting to make a living from their craft, but I think anyone interested in the arts, craft or design from makers through to buyers would be interested…

Don’t forget to attend the meetings being held by Environment Minister Nick Smith on New Zealand’s 2020 target around the country over the coming days.  It’s really important that they have plenty of people attend who support a 40% less Co2 emission target for New Zealand.

The Wellington meeting will be held tonight at the Oceania Room, Te Papa, Wellington, from 7.30pm – 9pm.

Check out where and when there’s a meeting near you, and RSVP here.
