Do you need an easy way to identify your shampoo from your hair removal cream? Do you want to avoid accidentally feeding dog food to your dinner guests—again? Does your granddaughter complain that you’ve covered up the print label on her favourite midnight snack with your “special dots”?
Our sense of touch can give us much more information about our environment than we may think. Naturally, there’s braille, but how else can we use this powerful tactile sense to make things easier at home and further afield?
In this Masterclass, Matthew Horspool and Chantelle Griffiths joined forces to take you on a tactile journey to help you master your sense of touch for the simple, yet powerful purpose of identification and marking.
They covered:
- How everyday office stationery can save your sanity when travelling.
- How a simple rubber band can turn nightmare neighbours into amicable allies.
- How to use braille in fun and creative ways, even if you’re not yet a confident braillist.
- Why you need to own hair ties, even if you have no hair to tie.
- How texture and orientation work together to create a customisable system for identification that anyone can use.
- And so much more!
Whether you’re newer to sight loss or blind since birth, there’s something here for everyone. Join us to learn how to level up your tactile marking skills, and create unforgettable experiences for yourself and others, for all the right reasons.
