The Box Shop is a studio workspace for artists in San Francisco. With over 100 working artists, our mission is to support the creation of high quality art by providing shared access to tools, skills, and knowledge.

Artists work out of 20' x 8' shipping containers and share access to a 5000-ft² shop and a 20,000-ft² yard.

The warehouse metal shop includes MIG and TIG welders, a CNC Plasma cutter, Marvel band saw, large and small tube rollers, bench grinders, and a wide range of sheet metal shaping equipment: benders, rollers, English wheel, planishing hammers, brakes, and more. Two of the Box Shop's latest additions are a shared electronics studio with 3D printer and a machine shop with drill presses, a mill, a lathe and associated tooling.
