About
This free orientation covers policies and etiquette in a community workshop, along with safety and the studio’s leadership structure.
The open studio experience is discussed as well as what the studio contributes to support members’ learning and project work.
Learning opportunities to help the studio run smoothly are provided. Volunteer jobs range from serving as safety monitors, assisting on community service projects, and helping on Monday Maintenance.
