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

[River Woman]

Yes, Ramona, and thank you so much. Thank you everyone for your suggestions 
as they are very helpful to me. I have met with the people who are 
interested in the possibility of having a class for blind students in 
pottery. I attended an art opening on Friday afternoon and met them. Next, 
we will meet privately to begin brainstorming the possibilities. I am a 
little bit excited about dong something like this, but on the other hand, I 
am quite nervous, too. All my teaching experience is on the university 
level, and no experience at all with students who have sight loss. I will 
keep you all posted about how this progresses...Lynda

>> 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
