Continuing Education

Linda Brant-Malm, a VLR client and the founder of tactileARTtalks, will join us to present one of her new tactile art pieces. Her mission is to include people with vision loss in experiencing art. She will be bringing her piece titled “Spiral Paths: A Story of Healing.”

At this workshop, we will learn throughout history that spirals have been found in art from cultures around the world, and often are considered a path of healing. We will discuss our own paths of healing as we touch and feel many clay shapes, with a spiral incorporated. We will learn from each other, as we share our thoughts and experiences of how many kinds of things can be found to have meaning and help us along on our own paths of healing.

This is a good exercise in mindfulness and the potential of our storytelling.
