Ever wondered how stories come to life through touch? Join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll design and build tactile books for blind and visually impaired children! After a fascinating intro to tactile book design, you'll get to storyboard your own creations, experiment with materials, and explore ClearVision’s unique collection of textured books. Your masterpiece will help young readers develop touch skills and learn braille.
Feeling extra creative? The event organiser welcomes attendees to bring along interesting textured materials - fabric, card, thin plastic, or anything with a unique feel - to donate and help make these books even more engaging!
No artistic skills required; just creativity and enthusiasm! To make the most of this experience, and to ensure that the children get the most out of your creations we recommend staying for the full session. Let’s craft stories that can be felt as well as read!
