[Nfb-krafters-korner] puzzled about clay

[Blindhands at aol.com]

These are questions that you need to save and ask  at the discussion.
 
You are talking and asking about detailed work on clay.  I think there  is 
a wide range of clay work out there that can be done by different levels of  
blindness.
 
Come to the Discussion with an open mind and listen to what others have  
achieved and how they do it.

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.
