Letterlocking Workshop

Description
Join us in The Salon for Possible Futures on Thursday, April 24, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. to learn some basic letterlocking techniques and discuss the very human practice of “passing secret notes.” No experience necessary!
Letterlocking is the art of folding and securing messages on paper without using an envelope. Tamper-proof documents are created by hand, using small slits, tabs, and folding techniques to allow the intended recipient to tell if the message has been intercepted. This practice is considered the original form of “document security!”
This unique workshop is led by Laura Pensar, a writer and artist with a professional background in Tarot, printmaking, candle-dipping, and passing notes.
This event is free, but space is limited, and RSVP is required.
Amy Kligman: The Salon for Possible Futures will be on view in the Nerman Museum’s Oppenheimer New Media Gallery, Second Floor through December 21, 2025.
