Celebrating 'The Art of Snail Mail' with Martina Calvi
Description
Join us for our biggest event yet, celebrating the release of Martina Calvi's new book, The Art of Snail Mail! We will host a Q&A with Martina, a book signing, and crafting session with letter-making and journaling.
Every ticket will come with a copy of Martina's new book, and a special gift from Joie Beauty. You will also receive crafty materials from Martina's Tiny Store, In Perfect Pieces by Bri, Naomi Grace, Julia Ockert, a custom Scrap Society postcard, paper, stickers, scraps and MORE. We will also have a photobooth with custom strips, ready for you to capture memories from the day to pop straight into your letter or journal.
Drinks from Mateo Soda and light refreshments will be included with your ticket, so you can eat and drink while you scrap and yap.
This event is designed for you to slow down and create something beautiful with your hands. Whether you are writing a letter to a loved one, yourself, or a new friend, or crafting a journal spread, you can be guided by the crafty prompts found in Martina's new book. Feel free to bring along your own scrapbook or journal, materials and printed photos to personalise your experience. There is also the option to purchase a journal with your ticket, if you are new to scrapbooking or junk journalling and would like to start here!
