The holidays are upon us and this is the year of the Maker!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you purchase holiday decor, tableware and gifts for loved ones, we\u2019d like to introduce you to a group of talented artisans with disabilities waiting to fill your stockings and trim the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simple. Invest in your community and your community thrives. California serves adults with disabilities through a Self-Determination Program (SDP). The program is meant to customize services for each individual based on their talents and desires, rather than creating a cookie-cutter service model. SDP improves quality of life, builds independence, ensures investment into one’s future, and brings awareness and viability of hiring or purchasing from individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Thanksgiving place setting is the collaboration of several artists: a woven piece by Sydney Pitcher from Revision<\/a>, a stuffed duck created by Elmer Buck of Sophie\u2019s Gallery<\/a>, and a beautiful repurposed fork napkin ring by Moyo Gazca of Moyo\u2019s Wood Arte<\/a>. This lovely setting will make any adult wish they could sit at the kid\u2019s table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moyo Gazca<\/a> inherited amazing tools from his Dad and a love of unique and beautiful jewelry from his mom. Driven to create rings from nut and bolts, earrings from leftover flooring and necklaces from found treasures like old spoons, everything Moyo makes is both dynamic and sustainable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
