I get a little tingle when I think about making mail art cards because I love them so much. I love everything about them—the art-making process, the smell of beeswax (if I wax them), noticing that my postal clerks no longer react when I hand it to them for postage, and then waiting to hear from the recipient that they got it. Although I sometimes make these cards without a recipient in mind, I usually make them for a specific person. They have more meaning that way, and I always fully put myself into them. So when they reach the lucky recipient with the postal service as my messenger, they are getting a blissful part of me.
In this inspirational online workshop, through videos and downloadable pdf handouts, I’ll share my euphoric process for making these immediate double-sided works of art — the process, the oddments of recycled and found materials that always go together just right, and the layers and textures. These PostArt Cards on the Edge can be any size, any shape, any media. Through this 4-lesson workshop that can be worked at your own pace in your own home, you'll see and hear my decision making process as I create 6 different PostArt Cards from start to finish, ready to be mailed. You'll learn how to collage, paint and used different mixed-media items and supplies to make these wonderful works of art. This workshop site will have a forum where you can have discussions about the workshop with your classmates, ask me questions, and post photos of your work made in the workshop.
This workshop will take place at
http://www.TraciBunkers.Ning.Com.
Upon registering and paying, you'll be e-mailed two invitations: One invitation will have a link for you to join my ning network and the other to join the workshop. You will need to use both invitations. First click on the link in the invitation to join my ning network. Then click on the link in the invitation to join the workshop. There you will find more information as well as the materials list. Although this is presented in a 4-lesson workshop, you can work at your own pace and sign up at any time to begin. If there is enough interest, there will be some live, online chats!
As a bonus, you'll receive a digital download collage sheet. The workshop will begin April 12th, and the information will be available until August 12th.
No experience necessary! Also, these PostArt Cards can be made without special materials. After the workshop begins, you can not receive credit if you cancel.
