Before security envelopes, people had to have a way to keep their letters private.
They used a variety of folds, cuts, and wax seals to tamper-proof or "lock" their mail. This method was used by royalty, spies, merchants, and lovers. In this virtual workshop, learn the history of letterlocking and how to lock your own letters.
Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 2 hours, Category D
