A community-minded, fully equipped professional grade metal & wood shop
A center for the generation of local community art as well as a fabrication engine for the small businesses of resident artists and builders.
We offer a large, beautiful, open, organized and well-tooled build shop with gallery space for exhibiting work, and community space for workshops, teaching and gathering.
who we’re looking for
We’re seeking a diverse and select group of founding bench holders. We are an experienced team investing in a space to unfold people’s creative potential and to knit group connections through building. We are looking for experienced metal or wood workers, builders/makers, artists, or sole proprietors who care about their craft and about building in, for and with their community.
Come join us — let’s remove obstacles and amplify your impact! If interested, reach out to learn more and take a walk through.
