I'm just interested to see how many mail artists in the UK right now. Are you one?

No probs. I expect it will be passed onto me - Kevin and James are good correspondents. Suprised you don't know them?  Kevin has been mail arting for 40 years at least. So he tells me!  I have no reason to doubt him.  Sorry for confusion.  Merry Xmas!

Michael! My post went to somebody in Kent then! It has the senders address so it should come back to me. I shall redirected to Cheshire.

Hi Jane - sorry to hear you had trouble navigating this website. I've had trouble with it in the past but mostly it seems OK for me at least. Good luck with the Lundy project. You must tell us about it - any pics?  A website?

I’ve just held my own mail art project on Lundy and have an exhibition of postcards in the church. Tbh I found this website quite a challenge to navigate so gave up :(

*I fear so!

I gear so - in the UK anyway. It's thriving in the rest of the world it seems. Mayb e they gave up on IUOMA and went elsewhere to dabble their toes?  As for my address - I'm still here in Cheshire. I tend to recycle envelopes and forget to cross out the previous addressee!  Eee by gum!

Has Mail Art in the UK already died? I had no reply from my request for correspondents living in Britain!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on December 15, 2023 at 3:11pm

 I will try targetting a few directly, see what happens.

Comment by Michael Leigh on December 15, 2023 at 1:58pm

Yes, you'd think out of the 92 UK mail artists listed here there would be one or two that would respond to such a request Martha. Sadly the majority seem to be mail artists in name only . Responses to my recent projects have been less that enthusiastic - well, hardly any to be brutally frank!  Its a sad state of affairs and not a patch on the heady days of the 80's and 90's when address listings would feature a dozen or so regular correspondents who were quite prolific.

I would like to expand my UK list of friends, would anybody want to correspond with me? Please let me know soon, I have something to send before the end of the year.
