About this event
The Postcard Project is a creative workshop series designed to bring people together for meaningful connection and artistic expression. Over the course of four monthly sessions, participants will create hand-illustrated and handwritten postcards to send to friends, family, or even strangers. Each session explores a different theme, encouraging reflection, gratitude, imagination, and authentic connection. This project is about stepping away from screens and the fast pace of digital communication—and returning to something tangible, thoughtful, and lasting. Whether you’re an artist, a writer, or just someone craving deeper connection, this workshop welcomes all skill levels and backgrounds. • All Materials Provided (postcard blanks, pens, paints, stamps) • Short Creative Warm-Ups + Guided Prompts • Collaborative & Quiet Time to Create • Optional Sharing Circle at End Christmakwanzakah Tuesday, December 8th, 6:30-8:00 Have fun, be creative and send your own version of a holiday card.
