kestrellI had this idea for creating a tactile art workshop for Arisia, and I am trying to find a couple of people, preferably with some experience in leading intro-level art workshops, to help plan the event.
My thought was that plenty of the qart and crafts we got to experience in the tactile art tour of the Arisia art show are suited to people with impairments, so maybe we could provide a few basic materials and then have a few artists give some basic instruction.
Potential tactile crafts: beading, simple weaving (bracelets, necklaces, etc.), collage with tactile materials (fabric scraps, sand, found objects), clay pots, polymer clay decorations (perhaps with cookie cutters?).
Any thoughts, suggestions, resources, and especially, volunteers, would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has links to actual information on planning something like this, that would be great.
