We(a)ther
We(a)ther is a quarterly snail mail of ephemera, intentional but not precious art and craft experiments from a life making, postcards from real and imagined places, a story told on paper to be folded and refolded, carried in a pocket, a beloved stone and a found feather, a quote or poem to slow the moment and hold up the day.
It’s intended to be a playful and love filled tender offering to those who support the totality of who I am wandering through this world, trusting that my heart and hands will land upon things of wonder and beauty to share with you. I hope that it will be a little like a lengthy love letter sent from a magical place, a missive from Uncle Travelling Matt (Fraggles) and a crow’s secret treasure trove.
The contents of each mailing will be different and reflect what playful experiments I am immersed in parallel to my RG work. I play with colour palettes painting watercolours of stones and feathers, experiment with drawing on copper, design with the sun in cyanotypes. block print fabric and pretty papers and can't seem to make less than fifty of each new obsession..

Little pieces of my creative cross training will make their way into each of your mailings, such as;
- A story I’ve written, new to you.
- A postcard made from my photography or art.
- Some small, tangible original beauty or two, inspired by land or sea. Usually small, usually 2D (like a little watercolour study), but delightfully at my whim.
- A digital catalogue and secret url for early access to each RG online collection.
Due to demand during the holidays, the final mail out of the year will only be available to Annual subscribers.
