Title: Cane and Able Touch mural
Description: The Cane and able club have been working with artist Jill McKeown recently to produce tiles to be incorporated into a touch-mural. As the group members are blind or visually impaired they have relied on their sense of touch to make patters and shapes onto cly tiles. This is all new to the group and they have enjoyed the experience even if they feared how the piece would turn out.
