Still Able

Still Able is an art project that encourages and empowers visually impaired, disabled, and elderly people, as well as those with experience of mental health issues, to know that they are still able to do art. I am a visually impaired and hearing impaired artist making art with clay. I was artist in residence at Maxability, a ceramics studio for disabled people, in spring/summer 2024.
