I have been talking to Trove Canberra (and some other stores and locations) about selling some of our creations, and really love the way they work, as a collaborative collective.
“Members of Trove Canberra are equal owners of the cooperative and share the responsibilities of operating the cooperative and shop. All members take one shift in the shop each month.”

It would be totally awesome if we could set up a small shop run in a similar way for crip (I believe in reclaiming the term and pride, not shame in who I am) or disabled creative types.
I in fact know of a suitable shop space in Campbell that has been unused for the last couple of years that we could probably use for free, at least to begin with.
I also know one of the co-founders of the Green Shed, and she may have other ideas or willing to offer space somewhere.
Thoughts, comments, ideas?
