April 22, 2023 Workshop: Celebrating the Slate and Stylus with Judy Dixon

We are thrilled to be joined by Judy Dixon to discuss the slate and stylus. Judy will cover the value and utility of the slate and stylus as another tool in the toolbox for braille users. She will describe her vast collection of nearly 300 unique slates, and feature a few of them in detail. Workshop attendees can get an overview of some these special slates at http://www.brailleslates.org.
