- 6. WEAVING YARNS OVER OLD CDS
- 7. FELTING
- 11. NEEDLE FELTING
- 12. CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING TECHNIQUES SOMETHING NEW!! & something familiar Not useful products Sensory impairments & reduction in fine motor skills were considered Making small pieces = finishing something each time Overall aims: to feel good about yourself & be a member of group
- 13. NOTIONS OF OLDER MAKERS Carefulness, underestimating their work, skills & capability BUT all expectations were exceeded every time Give time, encourage, “push” Joy and pride of one’s work, enjoyment Doing something they didn’t think they would Making really activates & is longed for Designing & creativity is important But support is needed; design constraints Little things count Learning happened; embodied memory Significance of the moment
- 14. NOTIONS OF INTERACTION Communication is the same as with anyone But it is good to know about memory disorders and sensory impairment Good connection is the most important Equality & reciprocity The role of the instructor? Participants are much older & wiser Not a teacher Equality & reciprocity Importance of social Making crafts can facilitate this You can be together without speech
- 15. ABOUT AUTONOMY Not everyone is interested and participation must be voluntary But they should see what’s going on before deciding Different levels of participation Would it be sometimes ok to push a little, to step outside the comfort zone?
