24th June Workshop



I really enjoyed Friday. I think the fact that the weather and working outside gave such a uplifting mood to the morning as Christine was a lot more talkative. I worked with her without Elana as she wasn't present. I think it felt a lot more easier when it was just one to one and i think it made Christine a lot more comfortable too. We mainly worked with Glass Wax as she showed an interest in what you can do for it. Luckily she liked Steam punk styled jewelry which was incredibly handy as i had small watch parts to put into the glass wax.

We spoke more about jewelry and memories and how we could link them together. Her idea was to link time with memories, she wrote onto a piece of paper a word that related to a special memories of hers. I thought the idea was really touching and sensitive, as the word could relate to anything but not revealing too much. I think I'm going to put more of a steam punk theme into the work, as it can link with time and  a metallic feel to it.

Unfortunately Christine had to leave at 12 for a appointment. I didn't mind so much as we had done a lot of glass wax pieces together and i feel like she had a better time.

We also had some sad news. The day did have a downside. It really has only just hit me that the patients are really ill. We almost forget when we talk to them and work with them.
