    Is there a way I can detect fingerprints as a blind person? I have trouble with finding the fingerprints without adding new ones.

    If you want to disguise fingerprints and they are difficult for you to see because you are blind, you may want to consider adding a texture to your surface. There are many things you could use like rough sandpaper, netting, sponge, that kind of thing that will hide fingerprints. If you go to my blog at www.polymerclaytutor.com you can find ideas there. There is even a couple interviews with another blind clayer named Cindy Peterson which you might enjoy!
