Celebrating World Down Syndrome awareness day

To celebrate World Down Syndrome awareness day, which took place last week, we wanted to share some of the fantastic art created by Liza Wilkes, one of our regular JumpstART students. During our recent Storytelling course, Liza composed her own fairy tale and illustrated it with beautiful artworks she created using watercolour and ink. Read more about Liza Wilkes.
