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, and Saturday 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 .
