Postcards from a happy place
Get involved in our BIG DRAW event at Rich Mix, part of the world’s biggest Drawing Festival in 2019.
What is a postcard? What memories do they hold? This year, Art Hoppers invite us to open tiny windows into our personal journey’s by drawing declarations of happiness ready for the post!
Postcards are as much for the postman as they are for those closest to us – A ‘wish you were here’ for all to see. If a postcard inspires the memory of a happy place in miniature, perhaps re-imagining the stories and pictures that go with it are a way of connecting with our happiest and most creatives selves at large.
Join us in partnership with Rich Mix for our BIG DRAW event celebrating communication and the playful visualising of landmark moments in our lives. Paint pictures, design stamps, write messages.
We’ll be tipping our caps to world post day (9th Oct) in gratitude of the global system which launches our intimate stories and helps conversations take flight around the world …
FREE Goodie Bags!
HUGE THANKS to Cowling & Wilcox for supporting our event with glorious art materials including beautiful Daler & Rowney watercolour postcard pads (12 sheets) for you to paint your images on, water colour pencils, paintbrushes, non-soluble fine line pens, pencils, rubbers, travel sticker packs and Cowling Wilcox cards. Rich Mix will also throw in some badges and postal stamps so you’re all set to create personalised postal art!
