Blind Krafters Division.  I am shairing our flier with you, below, for you
to distribute, throughout your state and at your state convention.  We are
trying to spread the word that blind people cand  be tought to craft by
using tactual skills.  Those who used to depend on their sight to craft, now
can learn to craft, by using their  sence of tutch.

NFB KRAFTERS DIVISION

The National Federation of the Blind Krafters Division was established in
July 2008.  This organization began its inception from Joyce Kane's desire
to share the love of crafting among individuals who are blind and visually
impaired.  The K in Krafters is a tribute to our founder, Joyce Kane.  We
meet via a conference call each Monday night at 7:30 PM Eastern.  The
general conference chat line is 605-475-4000, participant access code
966659.  Our Monday night chats are open to members and non-members alike.
We discuss crafting and blindness related topics.  We offer crafting classes
via conference call and email.  Our classes are taught by and for visually
impaired individuals, meaning detailed verbal description is given.  If an
individual is interested in our classes, but not sure if they would like to
join our division, we offer one trial class of their choice for free.  Our
yearly membership dues are $20.  By joining our division, you may take as
many classes as you like during the membership year.  We have offered
classes in the following categories: needle knitting, loom knitting,
crochet, beading/ jewelry making, safety pin beading, quilting, sewing,
basket making, kumihimo, clay, plastic canvas, felting, latch hooking,
macramé, origami, soap making, and other miscellaneous crafts.  Presently,
classes are managed via our website www.krafterskorner.org
<http://www.krafterskorner.org> .  There you can read about all the
happenings and sign up for classes.  We also have an email listserve where
we discuss crafting topics and develop new friendships.  To sign up for the

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
