Hands (RTE TV Series)

Hands is a TV series filmed and produced by David and Sally Shaw-Smith.

Hands on DVD.

In 2007 I bought directly from David and Sally Shaw-Smith their remarkable TV series Hands along with the collectable book, Traditional Crafts of Ireland.

The package they promptly sent to me included a compliment slip on which Sally Shaw-Smith had written, "Enclosed your order. Hope it gives you many hours of good viewing." And it certainly has. I don't know how many times I've watched every episode of Hands since that day. They are a priceless record of Irish traditional crafts.

You can watch two episodes of Hands HERE.

"My travels for this book alone have taken me many thousands of miles, on a journey of discovery to nearly every corner of Ireland; a reminder of how beautiful my country is and how unfailingly kind and helpful its people have been to me" (David Shaw-Smith).
