ABOUT “AMERICAN HANDS”

“American Hands” (www.AmHands.com<http://www.AmHands.com>) is Sally Wiener Grotta’s
award-winning visual celebration of those individuals who keep alive the
traditional crafts that built our dynamically diverse culture
and established the underpinnings of our present-day society. In this
ongoing project, she is creating narrative portraits of people who use
their hands in traditional ways, making functional objects that are,
today, typically done by machines. Along the way, Sally spends time in a
wide variety of artisans’ workshops - including a spinner, weaver,
blacksmith, glassblower, bookbinder, rug-maker and many others -
returning over the months and years, to follow the various stages of
their creations.
