Creative Writing Class: The Lost Art of Correspondence

Book artist Rachel Hazell introduces you to the art and pleasure of paper-words. Create your own unique book using letters, envelopes and stamps, inspired by fabulous mail art and artists’ books, examples of which will be available to view and handle during the event to inspire your work. Hone your creative skills in a series of exercises to generate words, practice calligraphy and learn binding, with a beautiful book the end result. Rachel Hazell is a book artist who believes that everyone has a book inside them. Her mission for 2012 is to teach a different class in twelve different places, then turn it into a book. Join her on the journey. (Lunch and coffee included). Part of Edinburgh International Book Festival
