Victoria Mansuri, the creator of By Our Hands, has been a Waldorf teacher for 25 years. She is now bringing her creative expertise to the greater community. Crafting skills are only half the experience that BOH offers. Victoria's knowledge of child development integrates fun, therapeutic games and stories that support healthy developmental growth. Time spent in a BOH class leaves children feeling happy, accomplished, full, and wanting more!
Whether you take a one time workshop or an ongoing class, Victoria's hope is that you will take home confidence in your creativity, new skills, and new friends with whom to create with abandon. BOH's is a place to grow self-sufficiency in creativity, nurtured and shared in communal warmth and support.
By Our Hands was born out of a desire to create a space for nurturing and sharing creativity in a supportive community.

By Our Hands was born out of a desire to create a space for nurturing and sharing creativity in a supportive community. The natural materials we use are high quality and sourced locally, when possible. Creating with vivid color and materials such as wool, wood, and beeswax, creates a sensory rich experience that is nourishing and enlivening. BOH is also dedicated to up-cycling whenever possible, giving objects that previously served a different purpose a beautiful, new life. This focus helps direct us to the beauty and usefulness of the objects around us and in nature. Learning to think outside the box, opens limitless possibilities for creativity!

At By Our Hands Victoria's mission is to open a comfortable and creative community space for children and adults to gather, learn, and share. Ultimately, BOH will offer classes and gatherings of many types ~ music jams, poetry readings, Sip and Knit, book clubs, etc. To start, Victoria is offering classes teaching what she loves, Handwork in the form of knitting, crochet, felting, and the like.
Engaging with the whole process and the natural world is also an integral part of BOH. Making knitting needles out of dowels to dying yarn and fabric with flower petals and vegetables, gives confidence in a connection with the world and one's ability.
