'Creative Correspondence' Comes to Easton Library

 When did you last write a letter? Or receive one? Imagine how special you would feel to find a homemade postcard or decorated envelope in your mailbox.

 The term for this “creative correspondence” is mail art, and you can learn about it at a special paper arts program on Tuesday, April 23, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Easton Area Public Library.

 Mixed media artist Maryann Riker will present the ins-and-outs of creating visually enticing mail art and unique folds that you can use to surprise special recipients or as add-ins for creative journals or altered and handmade books. From the classic Mennonite fold to unique origami structures, workshop participants will investigate and create unique items that can be mailed and enclosed.

 Ms. Riker’s work can be seen in the exhibit “Women’s Work” through April 21 at the Antonio Salemme Foundation at 542 Hamilton Mall, Allentown.

 The workshop will be held in the Catherine Drake Meeting Room which is handicapped accessible at the 5^th & Church St. entrance.

 Registration is required, and space is limited. Call Jennifer Stocker at 610-258-2917 ext 310 to register or for more information.
