Welcome to Letters Trellis. Based on the idea of celebrating the art of correspondence, Letters Trellis is a project to encourage the writing of traditional letters. It recalls an experience in Grignan, France, where there is an annual festival to acknowledge the joy and connection possible through posted correspondence. Courtyard spaces offer table, chair and stationery for visitors to write a letter. At the end of each day, the envelopes are posted and mailed as a service from the community. Letter Trellis was formed to offer this same experience for visitors to Winchester community events. The Winchester Farmers Market has generously welcomed us for four years, allowing the space to provide materials, a sheltered area, and ideas to prompt the creation of handwritten messages from one to another. We are also grateful for our past support from the Winchester Cultural Council (a local chapter to distribute state funding of the arts) and the Winchester Historical Society.
