[Nfb-krafters-korner] My next step

[linda blasingim]

Lisa, I don't believe anyone was offended at your comment.  Once I wanted to
take a  manufacturing sewing class, which was taught by a friend.  She told
me "no".  I thought I could gain knowledge of shortcuts etc.  I have never
known of another class like that being offered.  The same thing happened
when I wanted to learn to upholster.  I did not purservier as you are doing.
Keep searching for help.  You can teach others while you are participating
in the class on the 17th.  I admire you for your determination.  Hopefully,
you can gain knowledge of jewlry making and share it on the list.  We can
all benefit from your efforts.

So I asked some of my sighted friends if they'd be interested in taking a
jewelry class together or if they'd be interested in helping me and they
said no.  I live in a college town so I contacted the community college and
university's art and special ed departments to see if they had anyone who'd
want to do these things.  I said I could write them a reference if they
needed volunteer hours for a class or something along those lines.  I also
want to say that I admire and respect sighted people who want to learn how
to help us.  I do not have issues with working with sighted individuals, I
just have a problem with ignorance.  I admire those of you who are sighted
and joined this list.  I wish more people would join this list.  I actually
have a few art majoring friends who might be interested in joining the list
if that's ok?  I'd have to ask them but I think it could be a learning
experience for them.  So I apologize if my comment on preferring a blind
teacher came across as offensive to any of you.  I'd actually prefer anyone
who is interested in being educated on and work with blind individuals.
