The Hands

The creative spirit may inspire..................
                              The mind may conceive.......

But it is the HANDS of talented people that will ultimately create all art and fine craftwork.

These hands, which serve so well in all the everyday tasks,                         
                                   can be taught to do wonderous things.
They are silent partners in this creative process,
                                                       without which nothing would get done.
They stand ready to learn all the skills that are required, to turn
                              even common materials, into
                                                                      unique and valuable treasures.


The hands have been taught, and they remember.....

They remember the twists and turns that have been done thousands of times,
                    and will be done countless more before they are through.
They remember the strokes and pressure, needed to acheive the desired results.
They remember just how strong or gentle to be,
                    in order to coax these materials into shape.



At times it seems, if left alone, they could still acomplish their mission.
