Elevate Your Snail Mail - 04.06.22
When: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
Time: 5:30PM-7:00PM
April is National Card & Letter-Writing month! We’re celebrating with a night of writing, addressing, and embellishing cards to send to loved ones. By the end of class you’ll have 5 cards ready to drop in the mail.
Each participant will receive 5 letterpress cards by Big Wave Paper including envelopes and stamps. Mollie from BWP will be there to teach you how to create your own envelope liners and give tips on how to personalize your cards. Katherine, owner of Workshop, will give tips and prompts on what to write in your cards, so don’t worry about not having anything to say.
In addition, attendees can use our scrap paper, washi tape, rubber stamps, markers, and pens to customize their cards even further. Each participant will receive a letter-writing tips and prompts sheet to take home to send more letters all year long.
