The Trades Show

Help keep The Trades Show in production. The goal is to raise $2,000 by December 31, 2026, toward November and December's production and post-production expenses—a planned budget of $1,000 per month. To date, this project has been entirely self-funded. Your support of a one-time or recurring (tax deductible!) donation allows me to keep pouring my love into this project, while keeping it free and accessible to everyone. The Trades Show takes you inside artisans' workshops to meet the people behind the craft. Through conversations with makers, we share how they learned their trade, what goes into their work, and what it takes to keep a craft practice alive. Every episode takes work beyond the interview: researching and booking guests, preparing and filming on location, editing video and audio, and getting the finished story out into the world. Currently, in order to keep cost of production low, I am the sole operator. Your donation helps cover production and post-production expenses, including the software and tools used to edit, caption, and release the show. That support helps us keep the episodes free to watch and listen to, so anyone curious about craft can enjoy them. Monthly giving helps me plan for those recurring costs and keep making the series. Whatever amount works for you, thank you for helping me share the stories of modern craftwork with the world. The Trades Show is a fiscally sponsored project of Intersection for the Arts.
