The Creative Exchange is a quiet monthly ritual we host.

Each month, we send a small, limited-edition print we made with our own hands.

In return, you send us something you’ve made with your hands and care.

It’s not about skill or perfection. It’s about slowing down, sharing, and connecting.

How it works

  1. Sign up — Spots are limited each month to keep the exchange personal.
  2. Receive our artwork —We’ll mail our exchange edition artworks.
  3. Create something by hand — It could be a drawing, a poem, a stitched bookmark, or a folded paper crane.
  4. Send it back within 3 weeks — by post or digitally (depending on what you make).
  5. Be part of the archive — With your consent, we’ll document our exchange as part of our long-term creative archive.

What counts as handmade

  • Sketches, doodles, paintings
  • Poems, letters, stories
  • Photography (taken & edited by you)
  • Collages, paper art, origami
  • Knitting, embroidery, sewing
  • Handwritten recipes or calligraphy
  • Small crafts, found-object arrangements

If it’s made by your hands and mind—not mass-produced—it belongs here.

Sign up for the creative exchange

  • Why we do this

    To create space for slow, human exchanges in a fast, transactional world. To build an evolving archive of handmade connections. To invite both artists and non-artists into a shared creative circle.

  • Boundaries

    The exchange print is a special edition, separate from our for-sale works. Please don’t resell our work—let it live with you. No AI-generated or mass-produced pieces.

We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.
