To some, letter writing is a lost art; to artist Kay Collier of Kathryn Hastings & Co., it is an accessible luxury. In its simplest form, correspondence is available to all, with the mere requirements of a pen and paper. Still, Kay expands upon the craft, adding ceremony to the occasion by lighting a candle or pouring a cup of tea. She increases the beauty of her letters by using fine stationery and the symbolism of wax seals. In this exclusive web feature, the artist shares her knowledge of the latter—these beautiful adornments to the envelope that convey a hint of the message that lies within.
