StuStuStudio

Specialties

StuStuStudio is a co-​operative workspace and gallery. We specialize in handcrafted artisan jewelry, one-​of-​a-​kind paintings, custom metalwork, jewelry repair and design.

There are three working artists sharing the studio space at any one time and display their artwork upfront in the gallery. The gallery also carries artwork by previous co-​op artists and a small collection of local Portland artists.

If you’re interested in locally made artwork, you can’t get anymore local than the pieces literally being made in the gallery you’re shopping in.
