Bartering, trading, swapping--call it what you will, this exchange is a kind of currency I appreciate.

When I was in the process of setting up a new studio, I knew I wanted some horizontal shelving that would fit my needs, keep my materials in the best of shape. Along came customers whose groom-to-be was a carpenter, and the offer of an exchange was presented…

The happy couple left with their custom handwritten ketubah and I now have a custom piece of furniture (on wheels!) for all my paper and art supply needs. Both handcrafted pieces will last a very long time.

If you ever want to barter your expertise or talents for a ketubah, I’m open to discussing all offers! Let’s keep this medium of exchange alive!
