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.
