A year of letters, pottery and little reasons to look forward to the post.
I have always loved the idea that something can leave one person's hands and, days later, turn up in someone else's life.
A letter. A postcard. A little painting. A piece of pottery made on an ordinary Wednesday afternoon in a studio in Murrumbateman.
So I’ve made something that lets me do more of it, because I think it is a little bit magical.
Whistle & Page Studio Post is my seasonal snail mail subscription from Murrumbateman, Australia, created for people who still like letters, handmade things, good stories and the particular thrill of opening the letterbox to find something that isn't a bill.
Four times a year, something will leave my studio and make its way to you. Depending on which post you choose, it might be a seasonal letter filled with stories and studio news, an excerpt from the Journal, original watercolour artwork, collectible stickers, a creative invitation, a handmade ceramic piece, or the whole lot.
I want it to feel like receiving something from a friend who has been thinking about you while they were making things.
Not another notification. Not another thing to achieve. Just something made with care, arriving at your door and asking you to stop for a moment and have a look.
Because I think we need more reasons to write to one another, more reasons to make things with our hands, and more reminders that creativity does not have to earn its place in our lives by being useful.
Sometimes it can simply make an afternoon better. And sometimes, that is more than enough.
Because this is the very first year, I’m beginning with 50 founding places for the inaugural year of Studio Post.
These are the people who will be there for the very first post, as this little idea finds its feet and grows into whatever it is meant to become.
And I wanted to give those first 50 people something more than a number.
I’ll make a small ceramic token especially for the inaugural year, celebrating your place in the very beginning of Studio Post.
Each token will be individually numbered 1–50, making it a little keepsake of the year you joined.
It is not a loyalty reward or something you need to earn. It is simply my way of saying:
You were here at the beginning.
Your Founding Member Token will travel with your first Studio Post, alongside your Passport and first sticker.
Once the first 50 founding places are filled, founding membership will close and, if there is enough interest, I’ll open a waitlist for future places.
The inaugural mail-out leaves the studio on 15 November 2026, looking back at Spring and welcoming Summer.
Fifty founding members. One first post. A whole year of good mail.
There are three ways to join Whistle & Page Studio Post, depending on whether you are here for the letters, the pottery or would quite like someone else to make the decision for you.
$29 per season or $99 per year (that’s $24.75 per season)
For people who like letters, stories, paper things and having something lovely arrive in the letterbox.
The Correspondent is the most paper-filled part of Studio Post, although there will be a little clay involved because I am, after all, a potter.
Each seasonal post includes:
The Whistleblower
A printed seasonal edition bringing together stories, studio news and ideas from the months since the last physical edition.
The Journal Card Bookmark
An excerpt from my latest essay in The Journal, whether it is something I have spent weeks researching or simply something I have been thinking and feeling my way through. A QR code will let you continue reading the full piece online if you fancy it.
A Seasonal Assignment + Journal Prompt + Letter Writing Prompt
A little invitation to notice, make, write or wonder. There is no marking, no deadline and absolutely no expectation that you will suddenly become the sort of person who completes every journal prompt.
An original Whistle & Page art postcard
Each seasonal theme features an original painting by me, turned into a collectible postcard. You’ll also find the artwork printed on your Seasonal Assignment & Prompts card, so you can keep a copy for yourself and send the postcard to someone you’re thinking of. A little art to keep, and a little love to share.
Three original watercolour stickers
Also painted by me and made into collectible die-cuts, with one representing each month of the season. They are little pieces of original Whistle & Page artwork to collect, use or keep.
A small handmade ceramic keepsake
Because apparently one cannot send a letter from a pottery studio without putting a little clay in the envelope somewhere.
Your Whistle & Page Passport
Your first Correspondent includes your Passport and first sticker.
If you are one of our 50 founding members, your numbered Founding Member Token will also be included with your inaugural post.
Australian postage is included.
Four seasons. Four pieces of mail. Plenty to look forward to.
Your Passport is not a loyalty card, because I have no interest in turning creativity into a spreadsheet.
It is a little record of your participation in the Whistle & Page community.
You can collect stickers by taking part in seasonal assignments, writing back, joining The Paper Trail Club, participating in future Studio Post activities and selected special projects.
Your first Correspondent, Maker's Post or Full Post includes your Passport and first sticker.
The whole point of sending something is that it has somewhere to go.
If you feel like writing back, you can send correspondence to the Whistle & Page studio letterbox or PO Box.
You don't need to write anything profound. “I saw this saying and thought of you” is a perfectly good reason to put a stamp on something.
Some correspondence will stay between us. Occasionally, with your permission, I may share a letter, story or response with the wider community.
Because I don't want Studio Post to be something that just travels in one direction.
I want it to create little threads between people who may never otherwise have met. A postcard from one town. A letter from another. A story that makes someone laugh. A thought that makes someone stop. A piece of pottery sitting on a kitchen bench, slowly becoming part of someone's everyday life.
That is the bit I really love.

The inaugural Studio Post leaves the studio on 15 November 2026, postmarked from Murrumbateman.
This first edition will look back over Spring, welcome the beginning of Summer and introduce our founding members to Whistle & Page Studio Post.
From there, seasonal posts will follow through Summer, Autumn and Winter, creating a full year of correspondence, creativity and handmade pottery.
I started Whistle & Page because I wanted to make things that carried stories.
Over the years, those stories have found their way into pottery, books, paintings, letters, workshops and conversations with people I might never have met otherwise.
Studio Post is an extension of that.
It is a way of sending something beyond the studio walls and into the homes, kitchens, desks and lives of people who have chosen to come along for the journey.
I think there is still value in making something slowly enough to hold it in your hands before you send it away, and in writing to someone just because you thought of them. And I think there is definitely value in having something arrive that does not ask you to click, scroll, respond or perform. Particularly in lives that are already full, we deserve more things that remind us that being curious and creative is not something we have to grow out of.
So this is my invitation. Choose your post. I'll make it here in Murrumbateman. I'll put a stamp on it. And I'll send it your way.
The first Studio Post leaves on 15 November 2026.
Fifty founding memberships are now open.
From my hands to your heart and home.
