From the Brooklyn-based film studio Bureau of Common Goods comes Made by Hand, a beautifully shot web series that celebrates local, sustainable, old-school crafts, including hand-rolling cigars or the art of bee-keeping. Sure, we can all roll our eyes at the artisanal glut spilling forth from Brooklyn these days, but these arguably gorgeous videos offer a non-preachy glimpse into the lives of dedicated folks who are honing their crafts in an increasingly industrialized society. Check out a couple below. [Made by Hand]
