Lost Art of Letters Workshop with Tamara Moan

In the age of e-mail, Facebook and Twitter, a real live letter in the mailbox still gives a thrill.  Through writing exercises we’ll explore the structure of letters, how to capture a moment, and ways to push content into new territory.  We’ll also create our own envelopes, postcards, and stationery and work with types and applications of visual imagery.  Put your imagination to work, slap a stamp on your art, and send it into the world!  Bring these supplies: Blank and decorated papers, pens, pencils, scissors, glue; paints and other media optional.  Tamara Moan is a visiting teaching artist from Hawaii.  She has taught at the Honolulu Museum of Art School since 2001 and conducts classes occasionally on the mainland U.S. She works as a painter and printmaker, showing her work regularly in juried exhibitions.
