What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
A set of tactile stencils designed for students and adults with visual impairments to create artwork through touch and feel rather than sight. The stencils have raised or metallic edges that can be traced with a stylus or fingers, allowing someone who is blind or has low vision to produce drawings and shapes independently. This is a complete, self-contained tool — no additional equipment required beyond a writing surface and stylus. Note that APH has discontinued this product, so availability through their catalog is no longer guaranteed; check APH's secondhand channels or similar tactile art suppliers for remaining stock.
