The first week of May was a good one for Alex Janeczek of The Brick Shirt House. He became a new father and he found out that one of his t-shirt designs was featured in both an Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association publication and Indianapolis Monthly’s City Guide. These tees are flying but Alex is hustling to keep us in stock. Come pick one up – his family could use the extra cash right now!
We – and you, most likely – know all about the awesome things local makers are doing, especially with food. But it’s nice to see the rest of the country take notice, too! Homespun vendors 240sweet and Hoosier Momma were recently featured by national media outlets – O, The Oprah Magazine and Time.com. Read more in Jolene Ketzenberger’s Indy Star piece here. Congrats, ladies!
Kyle Durrie pulled her mobile printing studio pulled up in front of Homespun on Sunday morning and spent the afternoon printing posters with guests and talking about her craft. We hope that you were able to come out and meet her, but if not, watch the video we shot with her while she was here.
Kyle Durrie of Power and Light Press, Portland, OR, will set up shop temporarily today outside of Homespun: Modern Handmade. Durrie has taken her trade on tour in a Moveable Type truck. The letterpress artist will do demos in her mobile shop and let people try their hand at this centuries-old printing method. It’s free, so you definitely don’t want to miss it. Afterward you can check out Homespun’s selection of letterpress goods, grab a beer at Irvington’s new brewpub, Black Acre Brewing Co., and check out the Irvington Guild of Artists Film Night featuring “$100 And A T-Shirt,” a documentary film about ‘zines!

Homespun was extremely proud to be included in Country Living Magazine’s March 2012 “What’s Country Now” feature and we were pleased as punch that two of our long-time supporters and vendors – Geoff Davis of 50 Little Birds and Abbey Hambright of abbeychristine – were mentioned in the article. Congrats to Geoff and Abbey!
