Letterlocking is the art of folding and securing messages on paper without using external envelopes. 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. Analog encryption… the original “document security!”

Join me in the Salon for Possible Futures to learn some basic letterlocking techniques and discuss the very human practice of “passing secret notes.” No experience necessary. Free. * If you attended the first Letterlocking workshop in March come add more folding styles to your toolbox as we will be doing different techniques this time around. If you didn’t attend the March workshop no problem!
