It’s no ordinary business and the workers aren’t ordinary either. At Simple Things, Saint Petersburg’s workshops, the potters, woodworkers, designers, and waiters have learning difficulties. In spite of their difference, they make beautiful things in a happy atmosphere.
Masha, the founder, volunteers and trainers share how they identify newcomers’ gifts and what they themselves receive from supporting those for whom a regular workplace is too harsh an environment.
