This unique workshop invites both sighted and low vision participants to explore the art of self-portraiture through a multisensory approach. Using traditional materials such as charcoal and pastel, alongside diverse mixed-media elements, participants will create tactile artworks that reflect their inner selves.

The workshop is designed to foster creativity and self-expression through touch, texture, and alternative perspectives on visual art. Under the guidance of our facilitator, participants will learn various techniques to craft self-portraits that are not only seen but also felt, enabling a deeper connection to the art-making process. Whether you are a seasoned artist or a beginner, this workshop offers a supportive environment where everyone can express their unique identity and experience the joy of creating art beyond sight.


All materials are provided, and no prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and willingness to explore a new dimension of self-portraiture.
