Tactile Art Club - 3D Sculpture with Clay and Cotton Swabs / Toothpicks

We had another successful Tactile Art Club meeting on March 16 with 19 participants attending the meeting. With each coming month, we continue to be thrilled by the interest from students and individuals joining across the country. After getting to know each other, and discussing personal tactile art, we all worked on a fun project to create 3D sculptures using toothpicks or cotton swabs and clay. During the process, we discussed different structures. Overall, we had a great time working together.


The club continues to spread creativity and positivity through accessible art online. We are excited to continue forming a global community and connecting through tactile art. Attached are pictures of what we created:
