The Museum of the American Printing House for the Blind, located at 1839 Frankfort Avenue, will host a free one-of-a-kind craft workshop entitled “Make a Picture for Your Fingertips” for children ages 6 to 10 on Saturday, July 19, from 10:30 a.m. until noon. Children will learn the basics about why and how pictures are made to be read by touch, use special paper and materials to create an instant touch picture that they can take home, and explore the museum’s collection of maps, globes, books, and other educational aids developed for blind and visually impaired persons. This event is free to the public, but space is limited so registration by July 17 is required. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Call (502) 899-2364, or e-mail arich@aph.org, to register.
