Waldo's Tradeshop

Monthly Membership for low-cost access to fine art equipment and a growing community

Beyond trade specific offerings, here are a few benefits of membership:

  • Space to create: we have worktables, a cozy cafe, and an eclectic atmosphere

  • Resources to get started: when you join, you receive access to a small collection of videos, written guides, and demos that our artists love

  • Support from your peers: our studio holders and our tradeshop members value collaboration and are always learning from each other

  • Tools that make a difference: on-site essentials like a Mac mini (loaded with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom), an Inkjet printer, a sewing machine, and paper-making equipment (yes, we consider those essentials)
