This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Some people attribute mystical qualities to hands. In some religions "laying on of hands" is believed to have healing power. If you are Buddhist, Hindu, Roman Catholic or any other of a wide range of religious beliefs, your religious practice calls for particular gestures to be made with your hands. So this week's survey explores the idea that the energies of the maker are invested through the hands as energy present in the objects made. Are they there? Do you perceive them? Do the hands have the power to invest objects with non-material qualities? Choose one answer please.
