Many fiber arts do not require sight. People who learn to crochet or knit often do it by touch regardless of whether they are sighted or have visual impairments. Create blankets, purses, scarves and clothing out of a variety of fibers, creating artistic designs and patterns that can be done solely by touch.
Use gift paper, foil paper, magazine pages or construction paper and roll them into cylinders and balls around a toothpick or a dowel. You can also cut paper into triangular shapes and roll them to make beads of different sizes. Cover the paper with a varnish such as clear nail polish and let it dry. The beads can be strung onto a necklace or used to decorate other objects.
Sculpture is an excellent art choice for people with visual impairments. Start with soap carvings as soap can be a forgiving medium and you can get practice with the tools before moving on to other materials such as wood, clay, ceramic or metal. Use a paring knife and a emery board to make shapes in the bar of soap in either a relief form or by carving away all excess material.
Create sculptures using papier mache. You can create models, pinatas, globes and masks using papier mache techniques. Dip strips of paper in the prepared glue and then put them over blown-up balloons or shaped paper bags. After they have dried, pop the balloon inside, carve to the shape that you need and then paint or decorate with crumbled tissue paper, ribbons, yarn or pieces of fabric.
