Tactile Arts

Tactile arts are creative practices that engage the sense of touch, emphasizing the physical handling, shaping, and texturing of materials. This includes activities like sculpture, ceramics, woodworking, textiles, and printmaking, where tactile experience is central to the artistic process and appreciation. Tactile arts often foster a deeper connection between the artist and their work, enabling a sensory exploration that can evoke emotion and meaning beyond visual appeal. They are valued for their hands-on approach, promoting accessibility, craftsmanship, and a multisensory appreciation of art.
