Handmade Detroit hosted the first craft fair of the Metro Detroit season with the Craft Revival on Saturday April 17th 2010. This wasn’t a polyester pant suit wearing community center craft show with handmade holiday themed dresses for your fake plastic lawn goose to wear. Handmade Detroit’s Craft Revival, like all of its events, has been dubbed an “alternative” craft show with vendors selling things like hand grenade soap and paper action figures.

Handmade Detroit is a crafter collective that puts together craft shows, events, and an online community with a blog, DIY calendar, how-to videos, and a resource list of all the best craft places in Metro Detroit.

Here are some of my favorite artists from the Detroit Craft Revival.
