The Community is Getting Creative at Shalva

After five years of incredible growth, Shalva’s creative workshop has started branching out with workshops open to the broader community.

Shalva’s creative workshop provides daily employment for over sixty adults with disabilities who hone their communication, fine motor and independent living skills while learning a variety of artistic techniques and producing marketable products that are sold at the Shalva SHOP, art fairs and corporate events. Shalva operates five creative workshops; including pearl jewelry design, decorative soap making, ceramics, woodworking and sublimation printing. This year, Shalva’s employment program and tours department are collaborating to offer creative workshops experiences for groups and individuals from the broader community. In this capacity, our Shalva employees are serving in new roles as instructors and assistants; working side-by-side in a harmonious and inclusive setting.
