Long before any arts, crafts or design movements were ever started the skill of hand work was born of necessity as well as creative enterprise.
Hands hold, make, do, and express so much. They grasp at even more - tools, objects, people, issues, concerns, etc.
exploring the wonder in everyday acts of manipulation
We lend a hand, shake hands, hold hands, raise our hands. Even taking matters into our own hands. Often admonished not to keep hands idle.
"The fingers were the eyes of the heart." ~ Joseph Chilton Pearce
