These workshops started during lockdown in 2021, when Ms Williams asked if she could join a crochet course that Ms Forde was doing on Zoom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This led to Ms Forde running workshops solely for deaf people on Zoom and later in person in her studio. Claire Anderson, the BSL interpreter at a candle making workshop on February 5, said: \u201cAccess for the deaf community has been pretty non-existent for years, especially in the art world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"968\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1024x968.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1024x968.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-300x284.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-770x728.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1536x1452.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-2048x1936.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-293x277.jpeg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1400x1323.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"968\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1024x968.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1024x968.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-300x284.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-770x728.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1536x1452.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-2048x1936.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-293x277.jpeg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/02\/IMG_8331-min-1400x1323.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Claire Anderson (Left), Andrew Wellbeloved (Middle) and Gemma Forde (Right) in the Lark Design Make studio.<\/strong> Image: Lowri Lewis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is imperative that the deaf community have access to events like this if they wish to.
