[Nfb-krafters-korner] puzzled about clay

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

If a person is totally blind, how can you paint the clay item? With knitting, crochet, plastic camvas..., you can feal what you are doing, if you want a flower on the pot, how are you going to know how it came out?  How can you make a statue of an animal, if you never saw that animal?  I know, if I tried to draw, the only things I could draw, might be houses and maybe a barn.  Things with strait and slanted lines, no features.  I might be able to make a flower, but a person, I could never make.  I have never been able to see the features on a person, just the color of their skin, hair and if they have glasses.  It could also be because I have tunnel vision, that is why seing a whole word is a mistory to me, too.
