[Nfb-krafters-korner] Introduction: Robert Jaquiss

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello Cindy:

     Currently, I am not involved doing any crafts outside of what is 
required for making tactile books. When I attended college students were 
required to take courses in art. The art appreciation course consisted of 
lectures showing slides which were not very usable for a totally blind 
person. I was allowed to substitute a course in weaving and two courses in 
ceramics. In junior high, I also learned about basket weaving and wove two 
baskets.

Regards,

Robert
Monroe Louisiana
