India's first conceptual artist and jeweler is mentoring the artisan survivors at Made By Survivors Jewelry Centers. The creator of Breathing Space is working with our artisans to teach them how to use design to express themselves. She comes to the jewelry center on Saturdays to improve their design abilities, refine their process, and encourage the ladies in the program.
Through this process she is also coaching the artisans on managing personal problems that can affect the work envirnoment. She emphasizes resolution and creative expression through art as a way to deal with pain and conflict. This has lead to an explosion of creativity; with designs that are reflective of our ladies hearts and experiences. Some of the pieces tell their story: Two Worlds Collide, DreamCatcher, Learning To Trust, Open Heart and Badge of Courage. Look for these designs in our online store in 2015.
From working with a world renown jeweler, to discovering ways to heal from their trauma and everyday work frustrations, Saturday's have become a favorite day at Made By Survivors Jewelry Centers.
