The Art of Snail Mail

A hardback guide to slowing down and reconnecting through handmade post, from Sydney mixed-media artist Martina Calvi.

It starts with the basics – the ritual of letter writing, designing your own signature, and making envelopes and wax seals – then moves into 20 mail art and paper craft projects, including:

• sticker letters and embroidered postcards
• care packages and miniature letters
• secret-message mail
• finding pen pals and starting a snail mail club
