Saturday, June 21
2pm - 4pm
NOTE: This is a 1-part workshop running on multiple dates. Choose your preferred date at checkout.
Class Description:
Need new inspiration? Love sending snail mail? Designing postcards & greeting cards can be a fun way to generate visual art (collage, painting, drawing) and to challenge yourself to create brief yet punchy work in the provided space. Together, we'll look at examples of great letters, microfiction, and poems before generating short (but meaningful) work of our own. There will be an optional sign-up to mail your postcards to each other, or to an international pen pal! All levels of experience encouraged.
