Mail Art with Mitsuko Brooks

Join us for this in-person art workshop at Windsor Terrace Library with Mitsuko Brooks.  

Workshop participants are invited to create a mail art piece to a loved one or themselves.  

We will contemplate a loving caring phrase to write in cursive to ourselves. If you feel the need to remind yourself to be more forgiving, open your heart after a loss, or just need words of encouragement, use this time to check in with yourself and create a postcard-sized art piece. This art piece will be mailed to yourself and can serve as a kind reminder. Or you can write and send a mail art piece to someone who you think needs care.
