概要

 A manifesto for creative renewal and change rooted in the belief that crafting can return us to our shared humanity and ignite a quiet revolution shaped by our own two hands—perfect for readers of Wintering, Big Magic, and Your Brain on Art.

In a world that demands so much more of us than we can possibly give, where political tensions strain our sense of safety and belonging, In Our Hands offers an embodied return to ourselves. In the wake of personal grief and societal upheaval, author Bonnie Smith Whitehouse found refuge, transformation, and community in the simple yet profound act of crafting. Drawing inspiration from Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, Martha Beck’s Beyond Anxiety, Tricia Hersey’s Rest is Resistance, and Katherine May’s Wintering, In Our Hands weaves together personal stories, practical guidance, and meditative reflections on how crafting—be it knitting, painting, collaging, lettering, or any handmade art—can become a tool for resilience and liberation in uncertain times.

At its heart, In Our Hands is a compassionate manifesto for crafting space for ourselves in a troubled world. To make things with our hands is to participate in creation and, therefore, hope. When we create—especially in moments of pain or disempowerment—we remember that we belong to a lineage of those who have used their hands to claim and shape their lives. Through crafting, we are beckoned to slow down, listen inward, create not just objects but autonomy and legacy, and spark a quiet revolution of peace, connection, and liberation.

Woven with stories from literature, mythology, history, as well as research from the emerging interdisciplinary science of NeuroArts, In Our Hands shows us how and why making and sharing what we make with our hands is part of the great work—and great joy—of being human. Whether you’re a lifelong crafter or just beginning, In Our Hands offers a way to embrace your own creative impulses and curiosities, connect with others, and reclaim the joy and freedom that comes from crafting with intention.

批評家のレビュー

“With her signature sanctification of the ordinary, Bonnie Smith Whitehouse declares that craft supplies are holy, letter-writing is resistance, and creating anything—even a page-margin doodle!—is sacred work. When so many of us languish in "What to do?" and slide into daily dread, this book lifts us up from the inside, calling us back to the truth that making things is an ancient gift from our ancestors—and rehearsal for the future we are stitching, sketching, and sculpting through the body. This radiant handbook is hope made doable.” —Mari Andrew, New York Times bestselling author and illustrator
“A luminous and deeply humane manifesto for reclaiming agency in a fractured world... An invitation to step away from noise and despair and remember that meaningful change often begins, quite literally, at the table.” —Debbie Millman, author and host of Design Matters podcast
“Read In Our Hands and feel your heartbeat steady, your mind calm. It's for artists, yes, but also anyone with a soul.” —Mary Laura Philpott, author of Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives
"A poetic and powerful manifesto on the healing force of creative love. With a rare blend of passion and expertise, Bonnie Smith Whitehouse invites readers to awaken curiosity, imagine new possibilities, and rediscover the deep truth that when our hands create, our hearts heal. This is a book the world needs now more than ever." —Becca Stevens, Founder of Thistle Farms, CNN Hero of the Year, and author of Love Heals and Practically Divine
"Bonnie Smith Whitehouse offers us refuge in a world of military aggression, capitalist oppression, and quotidian devastation. In Our Hands presents us with a series of habits, rituals, and invitations that enact the divine spark of our human spirit... and preserves the fragile web of our humanity." —Cheryl Glenn, author of Rhetorical Feminism and This Thing Called Hope
“Whether we realize it or not, we are all makers. This book is a guide to becoming a citizen maker in this chaotic world. It offers insight, tools, and exercises for anyone who is looking for a way to get into good creative trouble.”—Diana Weymar, Creator of the Tiny Pricks Project and author of Crafting a Better World
