By Western Hands™ is a non-profit organization that was founded by Cody community members in order to educate, conserve, and perpetuate the legacy of western design. Legacy artisans who create works of hand-carved wood, tooled leather and bone, beaded textiles, antler, silver, and iron (to name just a few) are juried into the By Western Hands™ Legacy Artisans. Pieces as large as a wood and stained glass bar and massive hammered and cast iron chandelier, and as small as silver inlaid spurs and hand-beaded pillows are on display in the Gallery. Through educational events, workshops, and artist residencies, the organization will continuously engage, educate, and encourage collaboration between members to promote the creation of finely crafted decorative and functional art.
