Tactile Colour Art Workshop

Tactile Colour is a boldly coloured and distinctively textured self-adhesive material which makes twelve colours and information accessible by touch. You will learn the skills to use Tactile Colour to make art and greeting cards at this workshop. Whatever your vision or aptitudes, join us to have creative and hands-on fun.

The workshop will be presented by Jackie Dionne and Lois Lawrie. Jackie is a visual artist living, working and exhibiting in Vancouver. She has taken part in a number of community art projects including "Footprints" which put mosaics on the sidewalks in the downtown east side. She has presented several Tactile Colour workshops sharing her skills of making art and maps accessible to blind and partially sighted people. Lois has been blind for 20 years and invented the medium of Tactile Colour. She is able to show blind and sighted people effective ways of working with Tactile Colour. She used to be a graphic artist and screen printer before losing her vision.
