ArtMail Workshop, A Master Class on Mail as Art

Scrap the social media—make Art Mail from scraps! Join artist Zannah Noe in a workshop that turns mail into art.

Learn graphic design principles, collage techniques and alternative processes while learning about the fascinating history of correspondence networks. Participants are encouraged to bring personal memorabilia to incorporate into their postcard art, but supplies are included. Our exceptionally stocked Art for All Studio will have everything you need! Create three mail-ready artworks. The challenge is to send one to a new friend, an old friend and a family member or form a network within the class
Explore creative ways of collaging
Enjoy a small group crafting workshop with all supplies provided
Gain a better understanding of visual communication
Enjoy West Concord’s art scene at Art For All Studios, the host venue. It is exceptionally well-stocked with art supplies and crafting tools for any project. Scissors, glue, tape, paints, markers, pastels, decorative papers and much more are available.

This workshop is part of a larger effort to support individual mental health through art and community. Connecting is very much part of the cure. It’s proven that maintaining friendships and connections with family is a significant part of mental health and longevity. Our workshop will foster connections that extend the workshop’s benefits beyond the class to the mailbox, deepening our relationships through the power of art.
