Mission

Philosophy

Weaving Hand celebrates our ability to work with our hands to create something of beauty and integrity; something that springs from traditions throughout the world; something that can last for generations. We want to appreciate the creativity in everyone through the age-old art of weaving. We focus upon weaving styles from countries such as Nepal, Guatemala, Bolivia, Philippines, Japan, Laos, Morocco, Tibet, and others. In addition, the Weaving Hand operates as a store that sells hand-made crafts that are imported under the standards of Fair Trade Organization.
