He wants to make things to sell, so we have created a card for mounting the bookmarks, and last week he has took a dozen of them to a place in Portland called Inclusion, which serves the developmentally-disabled and has a small space to sell artwork.
There is a similar organization in Oakland, Creative Growth www.creativegrowth.org , which serves adults with a variety of challenges. One of them, Judith Scott, is well-known in certain art circles for her sculptures
Creative Growth recently hosted an exhibit of embroidery (from a similar center in southern Japan), which was thought-provoking and beautiful. There may still be information about it on the website (it's the Nui Project).
I would love to hear from anyone who has had experience teaching weaving to developmentally-disabled adults.
I don't have any such experience, but I do have a wee theory that there's an email list for every possible topic!
I always enjoy hearing about your work and travels Linda.
