If you run an art studio or workshop where people come to learn new skills or develop their existing talents, then having a shipping container on site can be a great addition. Shipping containers are sturdy, secure and versatile, so they can be used for a variety of different purposes. Here are five reasons why you might want to consider using a shipping container for your workshop or studio;

1. A Shipping Container Is A Unique Space That Will Attract Workshop Attendees To Your Event

A shipping container is a unique space that will attract workshop attendees to your event. You can use it as an artist's studio or workshop, which will help to draw people in who are interested in the arts. You can also use the container as a classroom or office space for people looking for professional development opportunities.

2. They're Easy To Move

If your workshop or studio moves around a lot, then you might need to find somewhere that has good transport links. A shipping container is ideal because they're relatively easy to move around, especially if they have wheels attached. You can also put them on a trailer, which makes them even easier to transport. 

3. They Provide Security For Workshop Items

If you need somewhere secure to store your tools and workshop equipment, then shipping containers are an excellent option because they're made from heavy-duty steel with welded seams. Expensive and fragile art tools can be kept inside a shipping container and protected from damage. This can be especially useful if you're an artist who has to travel a lot and doesn't want to worry about your tools being stolen or damaged while they're away from home.

4. They Are Easy To Insulate And Heat/Cool

If you are running workshops for the public, then you need to make sure that your workshop is comfortable for people. If you use a shipping container, then it's easy to insulate and heat/cool because they have thick walls that can be filled with insulation. You can also install windows and doors on the container so that you have control over how much light enters the space.

5. A Shipping Container Is A Great Space To Store Finished Art And Workshop Pieces

If you work with wood or metal, then you know that you need to store your finished pieces somewhere. A shipping container is a great solution because it can be fitted out with shelving and other storage space so that you have somewhere to put your materials. You can even fit large pieces inside the container so that they are protected from dust and moisture while they are in storage.
