In this episode of AT Banter, we’re joined by tactile graphics gurus Chancey Fleet and Marco Salsiccia, who are on a mission to prove that “drawing in the dark” is not only possible but  downright fun! Discover how blind and low vision creators are hacking the world of SVG coding, conquering “image poverty,” and using everything from 3D printers to… silicone placemats? (Spoiler: Yes, you can make tactile art with your leftover kitchen supplies.)
