Video profile: Homegrown Skateboards in Nova Scotia

On Jesse Watson's trip to Toronto in November, the skateboard company owner spoke about how he has been creating skateboard culture for years in LaHave, Nova Scotia. Homegrown Skateboards makes small runs of skateboards - sometimes only 20 editions of a board. For Watson, his work is craft production in the age of mass production: It's local, craft-based and borne out of a need to skate. His skateboards link culture, art, and collaborative design. Watson's Skateboard designs and his guest-artist series boards were on display at Harbourfront Centre until January 3, 2010.
