The Origami Forum

Hello there
I'm new here and wanted to proper introduce my self. My name is jay and I have been folding for just a few weeks, maybe 6 months in total. There's a long long story why, but in a nutshell, I went blind last year and being an artist all my life i needed something to let my creativity out which I could do while feeling. I turned to origami and found real fast that it is hard to get diagrams in braill, so I tend to use You-Tube with special programs that help me figure it out, the wife helps me to lol. Hope to learn more here.

Wow thats pretty inspiring welcome to the forum.

i have many questions, but i think that's really cool that you are still able to express your art and creativity through origami.

hi Nate,
thanks for the welcome
Feel free to ask all you want lol

Welcome.

Origami is quite popular amongst the blind & partially sighted, as it's tactile. I have folded with several blind, and very dextrous, folders.

Also, I remember the inspirational Japanese Master, Saburo Kase. (http://www.mastersoforigami.com/index.p ... =1&type=12)

The accessibility programs for youtube sound intriguing.

thanks InsomniacFolder I wondered about origami and the blind, for me it worked great.
