No charge for this hybrid ( In-person and On-line)  Outreach program.

SATURDAY,  NOVEMBER 23, 10:30am - 1:30pm (PST)

We're aiming to have more of an in-person presence, in addition to maintaining our robust online schedule. Locals are welcome to join us at the San Dimas Library to spread out with our project and enjoy each other's company as Cindy demonstrates. We'll have a sewing machine and some spare paints to share.  

San Dimas Library, 145 N Walnut Ave San Dimas, CA 91773

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM: Receiving personal mail is such a treat in these days of email and text messages. We will make several postcards from a variety of mixed-media supplies in a veryfreeform style. You absolutely do not need to have mixed-media experience to create a variety of striking postcards; Cindy will take us through the process every step of the way. You will learn a set of techniques that you can use over and over, while creating sets of postcards that each look different. Sending original artwork as a postcard is such a surprise for the recipient. I know they’ll love them!

These postcards will meet the US Postal Services regulations for postcards that can be sent without envelopes. Like commercial postcards, there’s space on the back for a short message,as well as an address. These postcards have successfully made their way to Canada, too.

Note from Kristi: although the sample cards don't show calligraphy being incorporated, I challenge participants to do that, once Cindy demonstrates the process. Members will be invited to participate in a mail exchange.
