Needle Arts with Vision Loss: How To Enjoy Making Braided Rugs Without Sight

"Needle Arts with Vision Loss" is a book series on adaptive blind techniques in braided rugs, needle felting, machine sewing, ribbon work and beading. "How To Enjoy Making Braided Rugs Without Sight" is the first book in the series. The methods have proven successful for Shireen's students over many years. She encourages her students to ask themselves, “How can I make this work safely?” instead of, “I can’t do this because I can’t see.” The series may be used as a guide in teaching many of the adaptive needle arts techniques or as a resource for newly blind experienced needle artists.
Vision loss does not keep a person from enjoying hands-on creativity. This book series will give both teachers and those with a visual impairment the means to tackle projects otherwise thought impossible.
