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.
