A Spring Gathering with Kathryn Hastings

Friday, March 20 & Saturday, March 21, 2026

12 White Street, Tribeca, New York City

Join Kathryn Hastings in New York City this Spring Equinox for a two-day celebration of renewal, beauty, and the enduring ritual of wax seals. Held in a sunlit Tribeca loft at 12 White Street, this gathering invites you to step into a world where art is slow, symbolism is sacred, and every gesture is infused with intention.

We begin Friday at noon with teatime—a moment to settle in, sip something lovely, and open ourselves to the weekend’s quiet magic. The afternoon will unfold with a hands-on wax seal workshop, where Kathryn will guide you through the fine art and deep meaning behind each impression, drawing from centuries of tradition and her own collector’s archive.

Saturday offers a full day of creative immersion: breakfast pastries and lunch are included, along with delicious afternoon snacks to keep conversation and inspiration flowing. This will be a slightly larger event than Kathryn’s usual salons, offering generous space to mingle with fellow letter-writers, artists, and aesthetes, those who find joy in forgotten arts and the beauty of objects made to last.

Expect to leave invigorated. Expect to meet kindred spirits. Expect to fall in love (or fall in love again) with the ancient and deeply personal art of wax seals.
