The Craft In Focus Festival was founded by Dutch anthropologist and documentary filmmaker [Wendy van Wilgenburg](http://www.wendyvanwilgenburg.nl/?ref=bklyner.com) in 2013 and was held in Amsterdam for six years and in Brooklyn at Industry City in 2017\. “In a time of serial mass production and consumption, the beauty of handmade quality products should be revalued,” the [event’s website states](http://craftinfocusnewyork.com/about/?ref=bklyner.com). “The knowledge of passionate, highly skilled master craftsmen should be shared with a wide audience of all ages.”
