Snail Mail: Reviving the Art of Postcards & Letters
2.5 hours
12 to 40 guests
$65
(PayPal Pay in 4 available)
What you'll do
Remember the good old days of analogue communication? Or maybe that was before your time? Either way, we’ve got good news: we’re bringing back snail mail with stamps, seals, scissors, and a whole lot of heart.
In this 2.5-hour session, the incredibly talented multidisciplinary artist Valeria D’Agostino invites you to join her in reviving the delightful and dormant art of personal mail. This class focuses on slowing down, being present, and spending time curating a postcard or letter for someone you love, with the intention of fostering human connection through creativity.
- We all know how good it feels to receive a package, and it’s even sweeter when it isn’t something you bought for yourself. The goal of this workshop is to warm the heart of the recipient through sentiment, whether it’s for a special occasion, a show of gratitude, or just a spontaneous act of love.
- You’ll have access to an incredible array of salvaged and reclaimed papercraft materials, some of which Valeria has been archiving for years, from old books to joss paper, washi tape, and gold-foiled bits of ephemera. You’ll curate your own beautiful and unique postcard or letter, and learn how to make your own envelope from scratch. You’ll even get to finish off your creation ye-olde-fashioned way, using a traditional brass wax seal.
- Everyone will receive 2 Australian postage stamps and a list of nearby post boxes, so your creation won’t just sit in a drawer, but instead will bring joy to your loved ones, near or far. And who knows, it might even inspire a reply in return!
Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

Work-Shop is a creative concept that will broaden your horizons and help you unleash your inner awesome. We provide affordable short courses in life skills and alternative art. We’ve teamed up with Australia’s brightest creative minds to share their knowledge and help teach you a new skill. From 3D printing and stencil art through to music and gardening – life skills and personal development through to cooking doughnuts and mushroom foraging, we offer a broad range of fun and creative short courses to suit our time poor lives. We will inspire you to pick up that pen, paintbrush, hammer or sewing machine and flick the switch that will kickstart a whole new way of life.Community values lie at the heart of our project. We collaborate with local artists and industry experts to teach classes and utilise local suppliers for any materials needed. We also provide a creative environment for emerging artists to produce and sell work, and meet like minded individuals. Work-Shop will be a space for everyone, with a rotating schedule of art shows, information nights on local issues and a whole range of events and community initiatives.
