[Nfb-krafters-korner] questions regarding mosaic tiles

[Terry Knox]

Joyce,
Did you see Barb R. post about someone in California who is blind and has
done this? I think it was a post from Barb. Maybe we could ask that persons
name and if they have a website. I would like more info also.

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] questions regarding mosaic tiles

Has anyone done any mosaic tiling?  I have been reading a little bit  in the
past about it.  When I went to India there was a blind school that I visited
and the teenagers had made tables, serving cake plates out of wood and then
tiled them.  It was amazing to touch them as they cut these smallish tiles
and fitted them into some creative designs.  I wish I could see the colors,
but they were described to me.
 
Going back when I was a kid, I had made tile hot plates up at my school play
ground in the summer.  I think we glued the tiles in place and then poured
something to fill in between the tiles.  Then after it was totally  dried we
kinda polished the tiles to get the chalky white stuff off of it.
 
I tthink I want to investigate some more into this.
 
Anyone has done this before?
 
Joyce
