Is it time for a polymer clay pin or magnet class?

> Thanks so much for the help there! I know that it’s very different than being in a group of sighted people in a class I went to a local knitting shop to try and take a class but even then it wasn’t expressly for beginners and the teacher had to help me one on one more than I wanted. That was several years ago and I just kind of gave up for a while. Now with the stay at home orders and unfortunately losing my job I have way too much time on my hands. For some reason our three-year-old cat isn’t interested in playing with the yard as much as I suspected. That makes me very happy! That means he won’t mess with my work when I put it in the spare room away. I’m very impressed since we’ve had the little guy only a month.

> Can we have some kind of clay art project? And where do people get there shapes for making things like those bookmarks? I know that it’s a canvas thing with the grid plastic holes but where are people getting things? I’m talking about making pins and stuff. I had a resident in the nursing home I used to work at several years ago that made pins for the staff every holiday. I don’t have all of them left but I have a heart shaped one and I think I still have the Shamrock. I’d like to make some clay pins to.

Oh and I should ask this question for my husband: where do you get the platforms and reads to make baskets? Used to make them and then the Wisconsin state school for the blind did not have a summer school program any longer for adults so he did not have the resources. Thank you!

>> Good questions!  Smile!  We have conference lines with access codes that you call for these classes.
>> 
>> Since you sign up for the class, you should have all materials ready to go.  I teach crochet, so I discuss with each student to find out where each person is in the craft.  We build the vocabulary as we go.  The teacher offers you the step by step instructions for what she/he wants you to do.  The student ask questions and/or repeat the instructions.  My class uses a team approach which means if the student does not understand my directions, someone else in the class offers their version of the instructions.  We just keep having conversation until the student has success.

>> How do those phone classes work? I’m speaking from a beginner. How do people help if you get stuck on something? Especially when you don’t have the vocabulary to explain what’s going on. Not skeptical, just trying to prepare myself. I plan to join the beginning knitting ongoing classes soon. Just haven’t been able to get away. Darn life interferes sometimes. We’re still cleaning up and preparing/re-organizing our kitchen and dining room since we had some remodeling done.
