Cherry City Correspondence: Letter-Writing Social
Join Cherry City Correspondence for a cozy, creative gathering dedicated to the art of old-school communication. This in-person letter-writing social is an opportunity to slow down, connect, and put pen to paper in the company of fellow correspondence enthusiasts.

Bring your stationery, postcards, fountain pens, washi tape, rubber stamps, collage materials, or favorite writing tools and spend the afternoon working on whatever project inspires you. Write a thoughtful letter to a loved one, send a postcard to a friend, reply to a pen pal, practice your penmanship, organize your address book, or dive into creative mail art — decorating envelopes, designing handmade postcards, or embellishing correspondence with artistic flair.

A portion of our time together will be set aside as “quiet time” — a peaceful, shared silence where you can fully immerse yourself in your writing or creative process. Whether you’re a seasoned letter writer, a mail art enthusiast, or just rediscovering the joy of handwritten notes, you’ll find a welcoming space among others who share your love of meaningful correspondence.

All experience levels are welcome. Bring your supplies and your creativity — we’ll provide the community.
