About ByHandGallery

ByHand.me was the brainchild of M. Adam Kendall. Adam created byhand as a way for artists to connect and promote their work free of the venues that host their listings. He felt artists should be promoting themselves, their work, and each other.

One of the tools Adam created at byhand was a revolutionary way to share handmade work, called Spotlights. Spotlights allowed byhand members to create small galleries of artists' work and share those galleries, both on the byhand site itself and just about anywhere else on the internet as well. Clicking on an item that interested you in a Spotlight took you directly to the artists' listing for that item no matter where that listing may have been.

Byhand Galleries was originally a collection of the best "Treasury" Spotlights... Spotlights created around a theme that allowed the Spotlight itself to become a work of art. Unfortunately byhand.me is no longer operational.

Currently, selections focus on a specific artisan with a consistently excellent body of work. Each post is updated automatically with new work so that when you find an artist that you love, you can bookmark and check back to the post for new pieces. So enjoy, click on the work that interests you, and when you can, buy handmade!
