Hi everyone,
There seems to be confusion re what I am
looking/asking for.
Let me try again.
Two yrs ago we had 2 exchange students for the year.
One was a girl from Germany, named Lisa Walter.
(Other one from Kyrgyzstan - we adopted her)
Families became friends, they invited us skiing feb
2005
We met/invited their then 16 yo son to spend time with
us.
He, Daniel, LOVES ceramics. Very artistic
Daniel is profoundly deaf from meningitis,can speak,
lip-read
Daniel was here for about 4 weeks, 1 at Peters Valley.
He learns fast, wants to be a potter.
No possibility for lessons/studio in Germany
He goes to a deaf boarding school in Freiburg.
Weekends home by train to Ueberlingen near
Switzerland.
He LOVES America and its people. Finds them kind &
gentle.
English is quite good, wants to improve.
Wants to learn more pottery and watch potters. Help
out.
He needs/wants to be independent - never is at
home.Can't.
Now almost 18 yo.
Hope to find him a place where he can stay/live/work,
4 kws?
Will pay for room and board.
Learn/practice in exchange for helping in your studio.
I am not a good enough potter to teach him what he
must
know now.
I am from Holland and know this is not simple in
Germany
But...if you know of such a place in Germany, that
would be
FABULOUS, esp. for future contact!
Daniel can stay here, but better somewhere else. For
him.
It's not quite exchange st. but apprenticeship (base
level)
Throws quite well, has some nice tricks, surface deco
very
good, careful. Patient, precise. Loves
handbuilding.
I can send pix of what he did here.
Sorry it is so long - still trying to explain
As I said before: Daniel's parents don't know that I
am (at his request) pursuing this. This is my 1st step
only.
Thank you!!
Marianne
