Have you missed seeing family and friends for a while? Imagine how happy they will be to receive an art postcard made by you. We will look at other artists’ work to get ideas for your art postcards.
Taking inspiration from Turner prize winner artist, Rachel Whitehead who used a hole punch to cut out negative spaces, we will explore ‘editing’ an existing postcard to create your own work of art.
Cut into a chosen postcard, add your own drawings or collage and use a hole puncher. You could think of somewhere you have been on holiday, a memory of a special day, or draw your pet, or use your favourite colours to make a pattern.
Using coloured pencils, felt pens and wax crayons we will end up with quite a collection to send in the post!
You will Need
- Postcard- used or unused
- Glue
- Coloured pencils
- Felt pens
- Wax crayons
- Hole puncher
- Anything you’d like to collage on top – string, fabric, coloured or textured papers.

My own practice involves a range of materials and collaborations and I have always been inspired by sharing my enthusiasm for creating with others.
Whatever age group I work with, there is a connection and a tangible excitement in creative activity. It is a powerful tool with which to explore the world and ourselves. I see myself as a fellow traveller; sometimes leading and other times following.
