OPEN STUDIO
The five areas of our shop (Blacksmithing, Welding, Plasma Cutting, Jewelry (Metalsmithing), and Fabrication) are open for Open Studio hours every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and, like a video game, each area is unlocked by taking a relevant class or completing a relevant skills test. Once you unlock all five you will have a fully stocked metal shop at your disposal!
​
[PLEASE NOTE: Event classes and experiences are NOT qualifying unless otherwise specified.]
​
Use of the shop during this time is membership-based and you must have an active membership in order to use the areas you have unlocked. To do this you must use your website account to book a time slot in advance through the Open Studio schedule .
