A library of Tactile copies of historic art to borrow from Talks given on the work and scope of the library Workshops and Courses Exhibitions and Public Display Commissions Welcomed Art At Your Fingertips, a non-profit organisation, reproduces famous pictures in a tactile form for the benefit of people with visual impairment and their sighted companions. The pictures in the library are created with embroidery and a wide range of fabrics selected to provide suitable textures for each interpreted work, revealing to the touch the contrast between each different colour. A summary of each picture is supplied both on audio cassette and in Braille.
