Because our space is small, fostering a tight-knit, high-trust environment is essential, and that only works when members are genuinely invested in the long-term success of the shop. For that reason, we do not offer day passes or short-term memberships. Our experience has shown that when participation is temporary or loosely connected, it can be harder to maintain shared standards like keeping the space clean and using tools safely and properly. A lasting, engaged membership helps ensure the space runs smoothly and remains welcoming for everyone. We understand not everyone can make that commitment, we hope they will stay involved by attending open houses and our other public events.
