tl;dr: Membership pricing details, Open Hours 3-6 Sat 2/8, Mending Monday 6-8 2/10, Talk & Tinker Tuesday 6-9 2/11
Hi All!
I’m excited to announce our initial pricing for memberships! Thanks to a generous donation (and careful planning) we’re able to offer memberships for only $15 a month or $150 for a year (2 month discount). We also have "Booster" and "Patron" levels ($30/$45 respectively) as an easy way to help support the space and keep things affordable for everyone. Additionally, we have a limited amount of on-site storage if you want to keep your projects, tools, or supplies handy: Small is $5/mo for a 6qt Sterilite "shoebox" bin, Medium at $10/mo for a 16 qt Sterilite bin, or Large at $20/mo for a 15 gallon heavy duty bin (or similar).
Aside from the benefit of keeping this space running and growing, members will also get a regular schedule of open hours, increased availability of materials and supplies, early notice and possible discounts on workshops, classes & training on advanced equipment, and the ability to host your own maker or maker adjacent events and workshops in our space. We’re also working on getting some local discounts and planning for group orders from online suppliers as the need arises.
If you’re definitely interested in becoming a member, you can sign up for our "pre-registration" email list here and we’ll email you as soon as our payment portal is up & running.
Open Hours - Saturday 2/8 from 3 - 6 pm This is basically what it sounds like, we’re open and you can come in to use the space. Bring a project to work on, peruse our supplies and tools to get an idea for a project, or just check out the space and chat for a bit. Since a variety of tools may be in use during this session, we do have safety glasses available to borrow if needed and there will be a waiver to sign upon entering. As we continue to grow and expand what we have to offer, we will be transitioning our Open Hours events to pay-what-you-can, but, of course, memberships would cover these events.
Mending Monday 2/10 from 6 - 8 pm. Fiber arts jam session. No specific theme this week, but bring out whatever fiber arts project you’re working on, something you’re looking to repair or alter, or just hang out with other fiber folks and get some new ideas. There’s lots of random fabric and supplies, a sewing machine, and more. Please arrive promptly so you’ll have plenty of time to work on your project.
Talk & Tinker Tuesday 2/11 from 6 - 9 pm. This week is just a general session, so bring out a project, see what we have to inspire a new creation, or just hang out for a bit. We have a wide variety of hand tools, soldering irons, rotary tools, sewing supplies, electronic components, and lots more. If there’s something special you’re looking to use, or something you’d like specific help with, get in touch at this email or on Discord and we’ll do what we can to get you what you need. Since a variety of tools may be in use during this session, we do have safety glasses available to borrow if required and there will be a waiver to sign upon entering.
Be safe and keep making things!
