Oooo what a small world we live in. The art instructor grew up here and his brother is deaf and went to the state school for the deaf but his family was told like my family was not to sign. I am 10 years younger than his brother and was the first person mainstreamed in my hometown. His wife is an interpreter! I showed him pictures of my hand building pieces and he said I should show! Ha ha I only showed him the good pieces! 😃 but I’m very interested in becoming a member and being able to get into clay again. But now I’m challenged to use the wheel, who knew it was so hard! I’m wondering how I could finance it? Taking an art class here and there I can swing but membership would be expensive.
