Coming from an emphasis on tactile art projects for the visually impaired, this tutorial works well for a range of students and abilities. A discussion of mandalas in art is followed by a practical exercise in making a mandala with clay that has strong tactile features. Several design elements are explained and demonstrated in the example.
