#tactilegraphics — Public Fediverse posts

I had the privilege of being on Dave William's Raising the Dots podcast, talking about the origins of #BlindSVG, how I got into #TactileGraphics, what our little organic collective of #Blind creatives is up to in teaching drawing and art, the TADA curriculum, and more!

Worked on a fun little update to #BlindSVG today! I added a little Google Translate widget to the site header, kept the vertical select menu and hid the rest of the widget elements I didn't need, and now folks can translate all the pages into their preferred language when learning how to handcode #SVG for #TactileGraphics. Hoping this will help spread this skillset to even more #Blind designers around the world. https://blindsvg.com/

If you'd like to hear about what @ChanceyFleet and I have been up to in the world of #TactileGraphics, our backstories, tactile drawing and art exploration, how #BlindSVG came to be, and where we hope to take all of this, check out our interview on the #ATBanter podcast! https://atbanter.com/2025/11/19/at-banter-episode-444-getting-a-feel-for-art-with-blindsvg/

For anyone creating #TactileGraphics either visually or nonvisually, I've posted hex color values up on #BlindSVG which you can use to set specific dot heights when outputting on a ViewPlus embosser, or potentially any other embosser that has multiple dot heights, or even a tactile display like the Graffiti. Thanks to Naomi Rosenberg from the MAD Lab at the Lighthouse for the Blind in San Francisco for these values! #Blind #SVG https://blindsvg.com/pages/styling/#tiger

This fun little test scene is using #SVG textPath elements to make an arching caterpillar, some bees, and a trail of ants coming out of an anthill. Except all the bugs are made out of #braille that spells out the type of bug it's making up. Using the Braille36 Tiger font and using Unicode Braille Pattern characters for the braille itself to be visifle and embossable. It's really fun reading the braille in a non-standard way around the paper! #Blind #TactileGraphics #BlindSVG

If you are in or around #NYC on March 23-25th and want to learn #TactileDrawing and #TactileArt, sign up and come join our TeachIn at the #NYPL Andrew Heiskell Talking Book Library! I'll be helping @ChanceyFleet and #AnnCunningham teach #blind drawing and art concepts, #SVG coding, and how to create #TactileGraphics and tap into your creative and spatial skills. This is really exciting! #a11y #FeelAroundAndFindOut https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdB-q2xMqfVzx5Ltu-9KxkbqaGaWW3WuTwcdJ6oGxldupAAJg/viewform

#Introduction I’m a blind person interested in #AccessibleAstronomy. #ImageDescriptions, #sonifications, #TactileGraphics, how else can we experience the universe? This will be a space to highlight work in this area, with the occasional original thought thrown in.

If you are attending #AxeCon this year, come check out our Wildcard talk discussing #TactileGraphics and the #AstroAccess project! @ChanceyFleet will lead as we talk about making tactile panels for #accessible #spaceFlight for the #Blind. Our talk starts on March 15th at 4pm ET. https://youtu.be/749CIQyMEMY

Had an amazing time at our #TactileDrawing retreat out in #Toronto! We showed off different methods of rendering #TactileGraphics to people at the #CNIB, then back at our house we went into intensive study of different drawing techniques using #SensationalBlackboards for 3 days in our group while learning ways to teach perspective, obscuration, composition, orthographic views, and other techniques to #blind artists, and so much more! I love being able to draw again and teaching others!
