SHARON BENNETT

The Learning Project draws from the spirit of the Enlightenment when expertise was passed from master craftsman to apprentice to ensure that traditions were kept alive and craftsmanship instilled a sense of pride in both teacher and pupil.  Through asking my family and friends to teach me new skills, I have encouraged the sharing of knowledge from generation to generation and across peer groups.  In doing so I have not only uncovered hidden talents but tenderly explored and enhanced my relationships with those closest to me.
