Welcome to Blind Create
Inclusive creative wellbeing sessions for everyone – with or without sight loss, disability or previous artistic experience.
Start your own unique story through art.
Blind Create offers accessible online art sessions that are adapted to each individual, creating enjoyable and meaningful opportunities to explore creativity at your own pace.
More than an art class, Blind Create is a creative wellbeing experience that encourages confidence, participation, self-expression and a sense of achievement.
Why Blind Create?
I have the knowledge, experience and skills to guide anyone in creating artwork, whether you can see, have partial sight or are blind.
But Blind Create is about much more than making a painting. It's about the story you tell through the creative process – from the initial idea to the finished creation.
It's about discovering your creativity, exploring your interests and expressing what makes you unique.
Sessions are adapted around each person's capabilities, interests and preferred pace, creating an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
Blind Create welcomes:
• Individuals and families
• Older adults and care home residents
• People with sight loss or additional support needs
• Charities, community groups and organisations
• Anyone who would like to explore their creativity
Blind Create is proud to work alongside organisations such as PAMIS (Promoting A More Inclusive Society), delivering regular online creative wellbeing sessions.
Please explore the website to discover courses, current projects, the Artists' Gallery, Blind Artists in History, articles, blogs, testimonials and partner organisations.
Creativity is for everyone.

Meet David
A warm welcome to Blind Create.
I'm David, Founder and Director of Blind Create.
Blind Create was created to make art accessible, enjoyable and meaningful for everyone, regardless of their level of sight, previous experience or additional support needs.
Drawing on my experience in education, I have developed a person-centred approach that adapts each session to the individual, creating opportunities for creativity, confidence and wellbeing.
My aim is not simply to teach art, but to help people discover their own creative voice and tell their own story through art.
Accessibility
Accessibility is at the heart of Blind Create.
Every session is tailored to each person's individual requirements and capabilities.
Participants are encouraged to use their own accessibility tools and software where appropriate, including:
• Screen readers
• Magnifiers
• Colour overlays
• Task lighting and visual aids
• Personal support from carers or staff where required
Blind Create continues to develop and evolve, with accessibility being reviewed and improved on an ongoing basis.
