Product Details
Overview
Kathryn Hastings is an artist, a writer, and an antiquarian known for her luxury wax seals and her work reviving the art of correspondence for modern life.
As the founder of Kathryn Hastings & Co., she creates objects and rituals that carry handwritten letters into the present, not as nostalgia, but as a living practice of beauty, attention, and connection.
In The Handwritten Life: The Art of Letter Writing and Wax Seals, Kathryn explores the customs, archives, and emotional power of handwritten correspondence. Through personal stories, historical reflections, and images of antique and modern fine art seals, she invites readers to rediscover letter writing as a form of presence in an increasingly distracted world. Part practical guide and part meditation on beauty, memory, and leisure, the book offers an invitation to create a more intentional life through the enduring rituals of the handwritten word.
