I'm thrilled to have a studio space I call
"ALL THE MATERIALS"
in
the Mural Building/ aka "Paved Paradise"
located at 230 State Road, Kittery, Maine 03904 

I lead workshops in my studio throughout the year -  for a group of curious people who want to create together; this unique, intimate setting is the perfect spot to learn something new or gain insight,
while using all the materials,
for a practice you already love. 
Can't wait to see you at a workshop!


If you're interested in a one-on-one art consultation or a private workshop for a special occasion with friends,
please contact me directly and we can discuss the details.

the skills that I have learned under Molly's teaching are ones that I am able to apply and incorporate into any of my creative endeavors and her enthusiasm, encouragement and willingness to share "trade secrets" are inspirational. After class my head is brimming with ideas for future projects. - Beth

Thank you for the fun, wonderful,
​magical classes!
You are my favorite art teacher ever! 
The classes were pure joy! -Connie
Molly gives great detailed instructions and fascinating suggestions for what you can do.
I got the sense that she is incredibly excited about doing this and it makes me want to do it to.
​It sparked a lot of ideas for me.    -Lee
Molly is an excellent teacher and she is extremely encouraging
​for those of us that are new artists. - Cindy
...A fun course with lots of incorporated techniques and examples. 
​Molly is a terrific teacher! -Deb
I also appreciated her impreciseness -
it made the process fun!    -Pamela
...the workshop was so inspiring. Molly does an amazing job of creating weekly projects. Her approach is so encouraging and I learned so many techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and looked forward to each week to see what she in store for us. One more thing is that it is pretty cool to see that people from all over can participate together.  - Karen

The Traveling Postal Club

The Traveling Postal Club  is a free -to-all, community, mail-art project/gathering that fellow artist, Anne Baumgartner & I started in 2017.  Past public projects include: "Dear Los Angeles", "Tell Me One Thing" and "Remember This Name"

The ongoing project "Tell Me One Thing" was born out of a wish for wisdom.  If we can't physically be together, we can still let each other know one thing:  an 'i love you' or an 'i baked bread!' or 'did you know dogs can talk?' something that connects you and one other person.  The community comes in when you share that 'one thing, one letter, one person' with the rest of us.  The joy, the wisdom, the one thing spreads out to all of us missing our families and friends...  we can all do our part to lift each other up with one little thing! 

You can see all about our other public/community mail art projects on IG.
If you love mail-art or letter writing and want to make a difference not only in somebody's mailbox, but in someone's day, 
join us in writing to people anywhere, anytime. 

HOW TO JOIN IN VIRTUALLY

Once you've created your mail-art, written your letter or postcard and have it ready to send, take a photo of the front and the back side
(cover-up the address) and tag us on Instagram @thetravelingpostalclub and/or use the hashtag #thetravelingpostalclub 
or send it to us in a direct message (DM)
and we'll share your creativity
​on The Traveling Postal Club Instagram feed for all to enjoy!
