The tactile workshops

Do not touch! How many times do children hear this order? No one would ever say: do not look, do not listen, but touching is different. Evidently a lot of people think you can do without.

Starting from and taking up the tactilism launched by Tommaso Marinetti in 1921, Munari in The tactile workshops composes a veritable ode to the fifth sense, proposing activities and workshops he created together with children to encourage them to discover materials, weights and textures using their hands.

The tactile workshops is one of the books from the Workshop series that describes different working, techniques, from educational to explanatory pamphlets and “poetic” play... With basic explanations and plenty of stimuli, suggestions and maps to get adults and children, teachers and students working together.

This book is also available in Italian.
