Mail art is a Populist Artistic Movement centered around sending small scale works through the postal service.  It initially developed out of the Fluxus Movement in the 1950’s and 60’s, though it has since developed into a global movement that continues to the present.   Email, text, Twitter, Facebook, etc. has made writing and sending letters a thing from the past. We don’t need to communicate by post anymore and yet there is something so romantic and exciting about receiving a letter or a postcard. For the card to be decorated with illustrations, fabric or paint makes it so personal and extra special. How I would love to receive an extraordinary envelope like that! 

Join Ellie Hicks in learning techniques for making handmade cards.   Materials included. All ages welcome!

Hello, I'm Ellie Hicks, a local 15-year-old entrepreneur with a knack for crafting personalized, handmade cards. My love for this art form began at a local paper crafting store, where I immersed myself in classes, honing my skills and discovering a newfound hobby. The supportive crafting community not only broadened my creative horizons but also gifted me with incredible friendships. I take pride in contributing to my local community by selling my handmade cards, organizing card drives, and most importantly, teaching inspiring classes. My mission is to share the joy of creativity and connect with others through the art of crafting. Join me in exploring the world of handmade cards and unleashing your own creative spirit!
