Hi Lindy, Henry and all the rest,
My apologies for not responding sooner. School and my art classes are 
keeping me on my toes, and I have a few ceramics projects, and a commission 
from someone who wants a statue of their guide dog, but made into a piggy 
bank. I’m preparing to start these projects, and see about getting a page on 
Etsy and/or see about setting up a website. That I may need help with 
because I don’t have the head for programing, much as I love geeking out 
with my technology.
Henry, I’m excited about learning all I can here, and maybe teaching classes 
as well. I haven’t the first clue how to teach people, but I think it would 
be a great experience for me and what I want to do. I want to expose more 
blind children to art, both in things already created that they can feel, 
and things they can create themselves. I want them to know that it is an 
option for them, and that they can make a career out of it somehow.
Lindy, I would love to tag team with you on an origami class at some point. 
What do you do to prepare for teaching a class? I’d like to talk with you 
off list as well, and I’d really love to see the text based instructions you 
mentioned. I currently volunteer ad the Blind Children’s Learning Center, 
and occasionally at a local VI resource room in an elementary school. I 
think some origami models would hold interest for kids who want to learn, or 
who can just color them after they’re made.
I hope everyone is well,
Blessings,
Valerie
