Expand your creativity and create a fun, one-of-a-kind gift just in time for the holidays!

As The Cartorialist on Instagram, Carly Kuhn’s irrepressible humor and signature line drawings prove that you don’t need expensive paints or professional training to be a “real” artist. Join Carly and unleash your inner artist by transforming an everyday object into a meaningful, beautiful greeting card for a loved one. From first idea to final piece, each step in this 35-minute class provides a low-stakes but high-impact exercise to flex creative muscles (even if some of your experiments don’t make the final piece).

Together with Carly you’ll explore:

• Drawing inspiration from the world around you


• Playing with illustration style and hand-lettering


• Adding flourishes with color and texture


• Styling and shooting your creation for Instagram 

Plus, Carly opens up about her creative challenges and breakthroughs, often fueled by figuring out how to make art using unconventional materials (like a water bottle, old receipt, or takeout menu).

Whether you're looking to break out of a rut, surprise a friend, or find an excuse to clean out your junk drawer, this playful, accessible class is the kickstart you need. By the end, you’ll have a new understanding of your own creativity, plus a personal memento that’s ready to share with your friends, family, and followers. So grab a pen and get started!
