General notes

Questions people ask

  1. Do I need experience?

    For the hot shop, metal, wood, and the crane, yes, or an orientation first. Pottery, ceramics, and the painting bays are open to anyone.

  2. What does an orientation cover?

    Safety, the machines, and how we clean up, in about two hours with a shop tech. Book it with your first block.

  3. Can I cancel?

    Up to 48 hours before your block for a full refund of the deposit. After that, you can move it once.

  4. Where does my work go between visits?

    Members get shelf space in each shop. Drop-in work goes home with you, or onto the kiln carts.
