OMG LOOK AT HOW CUTE THESE ARE!
We’ve been making valentine postcard packs for you for 5 years now(!) and this year we went old school- we made 3x4 to recall those sweet scholastic days of yore when we came home with a pile in a handmade box we kept on our desk all day long.
Complete with stickers and a lil pencil we made just for this- these limited edition valentine packs will make you and whomever you gift them to SWOON!
Come on over to Pickwick for our pop up Sunday 1-5 Monday 5-8 & Tuesday5-8 this week to get yours. We’ve got lots more printed love for you and yours too. 💗

♡member highlight ♡ Jo Ferry aka

Jodi Ferry has been a member at Pickwick for over 8 (!!!) years, and what a joy it is to have her as a part of the studio. Along with her printmaking practice, she is a wildly creative floral designer and excels at bringing artistic people together to sell their wares.

Q: What has been inspiring your print practice lately?
A: honestly, deadlines ++ the need to process the state of the world ♡

Q: Do you have a favorite tool at Pickwick?
A: I just love that etching press

Q: If you could recommend something - anything - what would it be?
A: the stuffed peppers at Brothers deli in Danvers Massachusetts

You can find Jo's work on instagram and at her new print and flower shop Saudade, currently open at the Black Boxes on Washington Ave.
