HOW TO GET STUDIO ACCESS

Step 1: Take a course! Studio Access is limited to people who’ve previously taken a BEGINNER & above level welding, blacksmithing or jewelry course at The Steel Yard. Please note: We do not currently offer additional shop-time/ studio access in the ceramics department.

Step 2: PAY for your appointment. Studio access is $35.00 per 3-hour session! Please purchase a 3 hour slot from our Course Catalog.

Step 3: REQUEST using this Community Studio Access Request Form. It must be completed at least a 24 HOURS prior to the requested access date. Currently, we only offer Studio Access on THURSDAYS from 3-6PM. We will be expanding our hours in the near future to include a weekend time slot. Please submit one form per attendee. 

Step 4: ATTEND your reserved session. Please arrive to your session on time; if no one arrives to Community Studio Access within the first 60 minutes, the monitors will lock the studio doors.

FREE STUDIO ACCESS FOR AGES 18 & UNDER 

If you are 18 years of age or younger and you have taken a course in welding, blacksmithing, or jewelry at The Steel Yard, you can access the studio free of charge during designated times. Complete the Community Studio Access Request Form. You will receive an email once we have confirmed availability and eligibility.

NEED EVEN MORE SHOP TIME?

Do you need more time to work on a project, prototype or commission piece? Our Micro-Residency is a great way for you to get 24/7 studio access, for at least one month, or up to a maximum of three months.
