THE RUNDOWN
In My warehouse, I have a 400 sq ft studio area designated solely for lapidary and smithing. Within it are an array of tools available for use during courses and drop in.
Another 200 Sq ft in the back, with benches that roll outside, Houses most standard shop tools- as well as any bigger tools that may cause excessive dust or fumes.
​
The cutting room is a 100 sq foot nook with all your sawing needs as well as supplies such as loose grit and rough rock.
​
These three areas amount to your accessible workshop space. additionally there is a wheelchair accessible washroom, free wifi, and small kitchenette.
The studio is a shared space with other artisans, please respect their space by not entering.
​
Drop-In Is on an hourly basis. I ask that you supply any of the small consumables you will be using, such as drill bits and sandpapers. Most are available for purchase from me. I will be on premises during scheduled drop in times to supervise and help with any machine safety issues/ refreshers. For more adept training, please refer to courses.
​
Free parking in front of studio, as well as overflow around back. You can access the studio from the back or front door.
