During the lesson, the hours fly by so fast that we don't even feel it.
Imagination takes us to a completely different world.
Our fingers get used to colored clay and we teach them to read our thoughts.
The teacher tells us that the clay must love us...
These are the words of the women beneficiaries of the Day Rehabilitation Center, who are learning to work with polymer clay with great interest together with the teacher Maka Jishkariani. During the lessons, they talk not only about color mixing, work-related details, but also about art therapy, which helps to overcome problems.
Each lesson is interesting, it is especially pleasant to communicate with each other and the fact that they learn a lot, make new products - each of them has already accumulated a lot of work.
