Join us this Saturday, May 9 from 12–2PM for a participatory maker workshop inspired by A Relationship in Postcards, on view in tandem with Making the Cut III featuring original montages by Bolinas-based artist Waz Thomas.
Spanning a 25-year correspondence between Thomas and his partner Victor Marchese, A Relationship in Postcards traces their ongoing exchange of hand-made postcards sent each week between Marchese’s apartment in San Francisco’s Castro district and Thomas’s cottage in Bolinas.
What began with commercial, ready-made postcards has evolved into intricate montages built from found imagery, layered with coded messages, weather notes, symbols, and playful naming rituals. Together, these works form an intimate and expansive archive of connection, shaped by repetition, humor, and care. Visitors are invited to respectfully handle and spend time perusing the postcards.
For the workshop, participants are invited to create their own postcards inspired by Thomas’s intuitive and experimental approach. Make one for a mother figure, a friend, yourself, or someone unexpected. Materials will be provided. Free and open to all!
