Cindy, with your permission, I would like to send this post, minus personal information, to a really nice young blind artist.  I would like to send Linda Lambert's information to him and her blog, but I lost that information.  He does clay scultures.

Becky and Jake

I had the opportunity to attend a workshop called New Horizons: Adaptive Techniques for Blind Artists but on by the Nebraska Commission for the Blind with a grand from the Nebraska Arts Council.  John Bramblitt a blind artist was brought in for the workshop.  Here is some information on John.  He does have a website if anyone is interested.

John Bramblitt is an artist living in Denton Texas, his art has been sold in over twenty countries and he has appeared internationally in print, TV and radio. His work has received much recognition including the ‘Most Inspirational Video of 2008′ from YouTube and three Presidential Service Awards for his innovative art workshops.
While art was always a major part of John’s life it was not until he lost his sight in 2001 that he began to paint, and it was then that he says, “Art reshaped my life.” John’s paintings are intensely personal, and are mostly taken from real people and events in his life. John’s workshops are unique in the art world in that they not only span the gap between beginning and professional artists, but also include adaptive techniques for people with disabilities. According to John, “Everyone has an artist somewhere in them; sometimes they just need a little help letting it out.”

His web site is: bramblitt.net

I had a great time learning new ideas and techniques.

Thanks,
Cindy
