💓💓I wanted to Write about something I am really passionate about.💓💓
I know there are so many people out there who love craft and who are passionate about jewellery but may not have the ability or confidence to attend a workshop or class.
It can be really nerve racking for anyone to turn up to a class where you know no one and you have never had any experience with the skill you are about to learn. So when there are other challenges involved due to disabilities, illness and mental health it can almost be impossible! 😞😢
There are classes out there which specialise in Learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental heath... but I think that it is more important to have classes that are open and inclusive to all.
They are specialist classes which put people into a special box!
This is not always anyone's fault. It's just that a lot of jewellery designers and tutors are not equipped or qualified to work in this way... and that is such a shame!
I teach in a Specialist school for people with PMLD, ASD, Sensory Impairment, Sensory Processing Disorder and more, and I know just how much some of my guys love to create their own pieces of jewellery that they can wear, chew or hang. It gives them a sense of acheivement and best of all its great fun!!!
Over the next few weeks I am going to speak about jewellery making for different age ranges and disabilities, discussing some of the taboos and issues and countering that with the benefits it can offer and the results it gets!
