Common Goods is a pop-up store featuring laser-cut paper packages of items we need but cannot buy, such as kindness, empathy and rainbows. Each package is for sale, and all proceeds benefit the Future Makers Fund, a catalytic funding stream for emerging makers. Packages are priced “pay what you can/pay what you wish,” with a suggested donation of $25.
These original student designs are made in Sharon Massey and Sean Derry’s 3D Design and Digital Fabrication class.
