Images from the 'mind's eye'
Abby Griffith has always wanted to make pictures. Every time she smelled
flowers or heard the sound of flowing water, she felt the urge to capture them.
She didn't believe it would ever be possible. Griffith is blind.
"I was always wondering how to take pictures," she said. "I want to take
pictures of everything, but I don't know how."

Pottery by blind artists showing at Noyes through Dec. 8
GALLOWAY – An exhibit of sculpture created by blind people is running through
Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Noyes Museum of Art on Lily Lake Road.
This summer the museum taught pottery classes for the blind and visually
impaired at the John D. Young Memorial Lions Blind Center in Absecon. With the
assistance of teacher Janney Thompson Murtha, students created boxes, pots,
mugs and bowls.
"We used a potters' wheel and finished our products with glazing and firing,"
Center Director Ann Burns said. "The students were so engaged with the project
that the trustees agreed to pay for a second round of four classes. During
those classes, the students created portrait heads or busts as they are
commonly known."
