Part art, part letter, both private and public, delightfully brief but never simple, the postcard is quite simply a delight. For over 150 years people have been sending and receiving these little joy-bombs through the mail. In this class we’ll make our own postcards with photos, collage, or drawing materials and mail them to a lucky friend. Along the way, we’ll look at some old postcards, think about how we could use postcards to make other art objects, and celebrate this lovely and vanishing art form.

Curious about collage but not sure how or where to start? We’ll complicate the blank page with things we find, cut out, tear, and layer. We’ll supply all the materials; you bring your curiosity and your sense of adventure.
