How does this all happen?

After two years of web-design by Rich Watts and Louise Ma, Or Zubalsky joined the team to make a fully shareable platform for anyone to use anywhere. The Trade School network now runs on a web platform that was designed and built by Trade School members Or Zubalsky, Rich Watts, and Louise Ma. Caroline Woolard answers emails and gives advice about organizing each Trade School. We are an all volunteer collective and welcome any support you can give. After you organize a Trade School, you can help us start new Trade Schools by improving the site and sharing your experiences with others. If you want to help, please email info@tradeschool.coop.

We are thankful for contributions from MoBY Museums of Bat Yam and ongoing support and inspiration from the barter network OurGoods.

If you'd like to donate to Trade School, please do so at our fiscal sponsor, The Field.

The Trade School network is made up of self-organized barter schools across the world. If you want to start a Trade School, go here. If you don’t have time to organize a Trade School, but want to barter with other creative people, check out OurGoods.
