Hello!

Welcome to the home of the Keep Writing project, and classes and zines with Hope Amico.

This holiday season, I have a few ideas for memorable gifts that favor experiences over things. Thanks for stopping by!

Keep Writing Gift Subscription

Have a friend who is far away and loves mail? Maybe your cousin is a writer? Or you want to gift your sister’s family something they can do together?

Gift subscriptions are on sale for $65 (reg. price $85) because I want you to share these with anyone on your list who might like a participatory mail art gift.

With their first card I will include a welcome card, with a note from you, and a sticker from me. All cards will be mailed by 12/14 directly to the recipient, unless you request otherwise.

Gift A Class

Have an artsy pal who might like a class with me?

Early bird registration is open for the “I Can’t Draw” drawing workshop.

Office Hours are on sale, too, for that artist friend who has been wanting a little extra support. Office hours are one-on-one time with me online; I can teach skills, we can plan a project, or I can offer steps to move past a creative block! Sale prices are $75/hour or $300/5 hours.

To gift a class, you can either register for the recipient or purchase a gift card and let them decide how to use it!

Make Unique Holiday Cards with Me

There are still spots open for my online class, Hand-Carved Stamps for Holiday Cards. We will use an easy to cut material to create a number of reusable stamps and then learn about layering and combining them into unique cards.

I used to only send New Year’s cards, no gifts, and loved writing a message to my loved ones. Whatever you celebrate, this evening class promises to be a little bit of sweet art making time in the middle of a busy season.

Bonus: sign up with (or gift it to) a faraway friend and spend a few hours with them online!
