Dear Reader,
These are difficult times. Sometimes, I don't really know how to show up here in your inbox. But I will, anyway. Because I promised to send out this newsletter every Tuesday. And staying true to my word and my values is important to me.
I stamped these messages on Sunday, pressing them so hard onto the paper that my hands hurt—imagining that if I had a letterpress, these words would be indented into the surface.
Everything we do, each small act, leaves an impression.
Make it one of kindness, empathy, reason and peace.

Repeat Patterns Deep Dive - CLOSES TODAY!!!!
The Deep Dive is a 9-week online training program for those who want to learn the art of block-printed repeat patterns. Whether you have carved stamps for years or have never block-printed before, this course will meet you where you are. Deep Dive will give you a strong foundation in stamp carving and block printing, and instructor Ali Baecker will guide you step-by-step. Build repeat patterns from your own stamp designs, starting with simple repeats and gradually building to more complex designs using one or multiple hand-carved blocks.
UPPERCASE is a promotional partner for Ali's Deep Dive course.
