my REAL wall - Supporting School Mailart Projects
As a former teacher, I love to see students getting involved in mailart, and lately I've been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of some of the mailart produced.
Todays posts on the REAL wall come totally from schools, one in the UK and one in Indiana in the US.
The one from Indiana is in the centre, a mailart call called "Where do you belong?" To contribute to this, write to

All of the pieces on the outside are the fruits of my mailart lecture a while back. One of the student art teachers who attended is now working at a school called Glenthorne, and has taken up mailart as a way to get the students into art.
I have a confession to make about Glenthorne. I was very surprised to find a bunch of post from Glenthorne in my postbox, as I myself taught in that school 6 years ago in exactly the same circumstances! When I was training to be a physics teacher, Glenthorne was the first school I was sent to and I have a lot of love for the place, so thanks to all of the students there who sentn mailart my way - I think it's great!
Great stuff, Andy -- looks like there's no stopping your Real Wall. I remember when it was just a wall in your flat above the radiator with a pair of pants drying on it...
