When you are making by hand you feel better.  That's what the research shows.
​That's what creative makers know. Make by Hand is what authentic humans do.

Make by Hand is what humans have always done, both historically and prehistorically.
Make by hand is the way to health and wellness for you.  
Make by Hand makes a connection to your essential human nature.
And you'll feel better!!!

Research studies have suggested Make-by-Hand efforts like knitting can:
  • Reduce depression and anxiety
  • Distraction from chronic pain
  • Increase a sense of well-being
  • Reduce loneliness and isolation
  • Increase a sense of usefulness
    ​and inclusion in society. 

“You definitely learn about yourself in attempting to make something of substance with challenging materials and techniques.”     — Franco R.
When will you start making your own stuff for the demonstrated health and wellness benefits?  As a human you are already genetically endowed from birth to be making your own things.  You were born with the creative and inquisitive potential to make the things in your life.
