The Craft of the Postcard

Join Dr Alexandra Peat for this creative workshop where you will reflect on the craft of the postcard then design and create your own!

After a short discussion about the production and function of the postcard, one of the oldest, and still most popular forms of travel writing, you will have the opportunity to design your own cards experimenting with a few basic crafting techniques (e.g. collage, relief printing, watercolour). In the second half of the workshop, you will write your own messages and/or stories or poems about postcards.

You are welcome to bring along any interesting examples of postcards you may have. Stamps will be provided for those who would like to send their postcards.

FREE event, booking is required.
