DESCRIPTION: For a small fee, we provide Open Studio Access outside of course hours in the welding, blacksmithing and jewelry departments. This is an affordable way to access tools and equipment as well as the supervision of an experienced studio monitor to finish the project that you began during your course or start a brand new project.

HOW TO USE OPEN STUDIO: 

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! 

Step 3: ATTEND your session. When you arrive, check in with your studio monitor at the desk, and let them know if you are either currently enrolled in a class or have payed for a session online. 

FREE OPEN STUDIO ACCESS FOR ARTISTS 18yo and 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.
