[Nfb-krafters-korner] I need some help here

Hmmm, how about something like 
Hands on pottery, or Hands on clay

Or, A touch of clay/pottery.  Or for anyone who has read Touch the Top of
the World.  Touch the depths of the earth?

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] I need some help here

Hi friends,
I have been approaced to teach a pottery class for blind students. I would
like to do it. What I need to do is design a class with a nifty name that
would be catchy and sound like a class you would like to take. 

I am thinking the name of this course should relate to what we experience as
artists/crafters who have sight loss.  Something that might include "touch"
in the title; and since it is working with clay, the title might have
something to do with "earth."  Does anyone feel inspired with a good name
for my class????? Help???

At this time I do not know the target age for the participants. It may be up
to me to decide that and once I know the age range then I can plan how many
sessions we'll do and what we will make.

I am very nervous about this though, because I have only been blind for 3
years. I have NO experience at teaching blind people anything, since I am
still learning HOW to do things myself. So, in addition to possible names
for this pottery course, if you have any other ideas for me as to HOW to
teach a blind person to make pottery I will be MOST grateful.  

As a participant on this list, I feel like I have a whole group of advisors
to turn to for help - that makes me not so afraid of tackling this project. 
Thanks. Lynda Lambert
