Overview
“This radiant handbook is hope made doable.” —Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author and illustrator
“A luminous and deeply humane manifesto for reclaiming agency in a fractured world.” —Debbie Millman, author and host of the Design Matters podcast
An empowering guide to creative renewal and change, rooted in the belief that crafting can return us to our shared humanity and ignite a quiet revolution shaped by our own two hands.
In a world that demands so much more of us than we can possibly give, where social, political, and technological tensions strain our sense of safety and belonging, In Our Hands offers an embodied return to ourselves. In the wake of personal grief and societal upheaval, author Bonnie Smith Whitehouse found refuge, transformation, and community in the simple yet profound act of crafting. Drawing inspiration from Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, Martha Beck’s Beyond Anxiety, Tricia Hersey’s Rest is Resistance, and Katherine May’s Wintering, In Our Hands weaves together personal stories, practical guidance, and meditative reflections on how crafting—be it knitting, painting, collaging, lettering, or any handmade art—can become a tool for resilience and empowerment in uncertain times.
At its heart, In Our Hands is a compassionate manifesto for crafting space for ourselves in a troubled world. To make things with our hands is to participate in creation and, therefore, hope. When we create—especially in moments of pain or disempowerment—we remember that we belong to a lineage of those who have used their hands to claim and shape their lives. Through crafting, we are beckoned to slow down, listen inward, and create not just objects but autonomy and legacy.
Braided with stories from literature, mythology, history, as well as research from the emerging interdisciplinary science of NeuroArts, In Our Hands shows us how and why making and sharing what we make with our hands is part of the great work—and great joy—of being human. Whether you’re a lifelong crafter or just beginning, In Our Hands offers a way to embrace your own creative impulses and curiosities, connect with others, and claim the revolutionary spark of peace, connection, and liberation that come from crafting with intention.
