Most Special Needs Schools, as I am sure you are aware, were closed down and the pupils were integrated into local schools. His school, is a Beacon School for special needs, as the pupils there could not be placed in local schools. It is a demanding job but he is wonderful with them, and they are very attached to him.

This post was such a treat to see not only for the finished prints, which are beautifully composed and executed (my favorites; the squirrel and the gannets), but also for the "in progress" images, which are so interesting as well. It is so rewarding to have art as a part of one's life, and I'm sure that this will be an important part of your son's life for many years to come. I look forward to seeing more of his work: perhaps a special edition for your many readers?????!!!!<br />Thanks again and warm regards,<br />ErikaParvum Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464815622667738686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-62274464082435770042012-11-15T09:09:40.244+00:002012-11-15T09:09:40.244+00:00Thank you Karen - may be your cousin would let you...Thank you Karen - may be your cousin would let you show some of their work? it would be interesting to see it.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-65881649248579898522012-11-15T09:07:22.233+00:002012-11-15T09:07:22.233+00:00Thank you very much Stiletto for your very kind co...Thank you very much Stiletto for your very kind comments.

Before he had his studio my son used to work in the corner of the kitchen. You can do it with very little equipment, my son has not always had the proper press, but was still able to make the prints. He just needs the lino, cutting tools, printing ink, a roller and paper.<br />Hope he will give it a try.<br />Thank you for your kind comment.
