Open Studios/Studio Access
Metalworking
Open Studios
For the working metal artist or experienced maker, we provide access to our metal shop beyond our classes. One of the most popular ways to get back into our studio is through Open Studios, offered twice a week. Open Studios are an affordable way to have access our tools and equipment as well as the supervision of an experienced studio monitor. It's a great way to finish what you worked on in class, or start a brand new project.
Open Studio participants have access to the same tools and equipment we use in classes, including MIG welders, ARC welders, use of the forges and blacksmithing tools, oxyacetylene torches, grinders, a metal chop saw, horizontal band saw, and many small hand tools. All this for just $30.00 per 3-hour session!
Open Studio sessions are available to current and past Steel Yard students. If you haven't taken a class, but are experienced in metalworking and would like to use Open Studios, contact our Studio Manager, .
Check the Calendar for days and times. Cancellations and other important information can be found there, as well as on our home page.
Day & Hourly Shop Rental
Do you need more time and space than Open Studios provides? We also have daytime studio rental rates. The daytime program is great for individuals that would like to have the shop to themselves or to work on bigger projects that are more difficult to accomplish during regular Open Studios. These rental times are available to experienced metal workers only, as there is no monitor in the shop. You'll have access to all the same tools, with more room to work! Contact the Studio Manager, , to get more information and schedule access.
Youth Open Studios
For the younger metal enthusiasts we have Youth Open Studio sessions. During our regular course season, our studios are open and free of charge to any high school student who has completed one or more of our youth programs in metalworking. During these monitored studio sessions, students can work on their own projects and spend time experimenting in our shop with the support and guidance of artists and instructors. Contact Alma, , for more information and times.
