Recent Activity

This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

'Tis the season to make and send beautiful mail art! Ever think of making envelopes and postcards out of maps, magazines, comics, old clothing, or cereal boxes? Well, you can! Not only for sending, handmade stationery is a great gift idea, too.

In this 90 minute workshop, we will:

- Learn the USPS postal guidelines, and see how much actually can go through the mail!

- Learn and practice a basic no-cut envelope folding technique

- Create and share with fellow students!

Basic supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring magazines, newspapers, fabric scraps, or anything else you'd think would make a beautiful envelope!
