Moving? On hiatus from a screenprinting hobby? Looking to get rid of that bag of wood type? The Soapbox welcomes donations of all kinds for its studio. We are especially interested in materials and equipment related to printmaking (see below), bookbinding, and zine making, but are also open to other supplies and tools that might be put to use by our members. Please email us a brief description of what you would like to donate to the studio, and if your donation meets our needs and space requirements, we can arrange a drop off time that is convenient for you.
