Textures

Target Audience:  Visually Impaired

Category: Hands-on workshop

Price: Free

This workshop is designed for visually impaired participants, focusing on the creative possibilities of texture. Through guided exploration of materials such as fabric, sandpaper, buttons, and natural objects, participants will discover how different surfaces can evoke feelings, memories, and stories. Using these tactile elements, they will create layered textured collages that can be experienced through touch. Each participant is provided with a cardboard base to create a textured collage. The session leader should encourage layering materials to explore contrast, depth, and movement through touch. Encourage experimentation with shapes, overlapping, and arrangement.

The session concludes with a reflective sharing, where participants describe their creations and engage with each other’s work, fostering dialogue and connection.

Textures

Dan il-workshop hu mfassal għal parteċipanti neqsin mid-dawl u jiffoka fuq il-possibbiltajiet kreattivi li jinħolqu meta wieħed imiss u jħoss il-wiċċ ta’ xi ħaġa. Permezz ta’ esplorazzjoni gwidata ta’ materjali bħal drapp, sandpaper, buttuni, u oġġetti naturali, il-parteċipanti se jiskopru kif uċuħ differenti jistgħu jqanqlu emozzjonijiet, tifkiriet u ġrajjiet. Bl-użu ta’ dawn l-elementi, huma se joħolqu collages b’saffi ta’ materjali differenti li jistgħu jiġu esperjenzati bis-sens tal-mess. Kull parteċipant se jingħata bażi tal-kartun biex joħloq il-collage tiegħu. Min se jmexxi s-sessjoni se jħeġġeġ lill-parteċipanti biex joħolqu saffi ta’ materjali li jgħinuhom jesploraw il-kuntrast, il-fond u l-moviment permezz tal-mess, filwaqt li jesperimentaw bil-forom, bil-mod kif ħaġa titrikkeb fuq oħra, u bl-arranġament.

Is-sessjoni tasal fi tmiemha b’waqtiet ta’ riflessjoni, fejn il-parteċipanti jiddeskrivu dak li ħolqu u jħossu x-xogħlijiet tal-oħrajn u b’hekk jinħolqu djalogu u rabta.
