The theme for this exchange will be LEAVES.
Key Dates
Who can join?
We welcome students of all abilities and disciplines. The aim is to inspire creativity and spread a little joy - rest assured that there will be no judgement or critique.
We will organise the exchange groups based on the options you select above when registering. Groups will be small and friendly (the Ardington way) with no more than four students in each.
Remember, you are included in the group total - which means that you will be preparing and posting three envelopes and should receive the same number in return.
What should my envelope look like?
Your envelopes can be whatever you want them to be. They can all be the same or totally unique. They can be calligraphic, illustrative, painted, mixed media, stitched... the options are endless! If you need inspiration, have a quick search online for 'envelope exchange ideas'!
Just remember that the address must be legible and there must be space for postage. You don't want the stamps to cover your designs! You must also include a return address on the reverse, but this can be super small.
There is absolutely no requirement to include a card or note in your envelope, although we know that many of you will.
How much does it cost?
It is completely free to register. You will pay the cost of postage for sending each of your envelopes, and those costs may vary depending on where in the world you are sending them to.
What information do I need to give?
For the exchange to work, you will need to include your email address and postal address when registering.
These details will be held by Ardington, in accordance with our normal booking process, but will also be shared with the others in your exchange group. Consent to share this information will be given during registration.
