Classes here at the studio have tickets labeled as "active participant" for the reason that attending is not the point of the class at a maker studio. You have to be more than a ticket holder - you have to be active in the class. Work at it if the class is free or for a fee.<br />
<br />
If you disagree thats okay but be considerate with your revolt against the truth from an engineer. Visit here for more on that.<br />
<br />
We really need you to be vocal and let us know when you will be attending a class. A lot of work goes into making the classes effective if free or for a fee. Please take the time to RSVP for the class if you will be attending.<br />

Marking a class "I'm Going" on facebook event and then not showing up for the class will make engineers sad. . .<br />

It has been a fulfilling several months. Our open house went so well we forgot to take pictures. Needless to say a good time was had by all.<br />
<br />
The very next week after our open house we welcomed our first member. We have new members joining us each week and classes to start up in April.<br />
<br />
Our price sheet is being created as I type this so that should go up here soon.<br />
<br />
Each Friday from 2-4pm we will have an Open House with private tours. These are great times to stop in to see what we have done with the place and also find out what we are doing.<br />
<br />
And last is the email list. Here is the link to subscribe to our weekly email of local entrepreneur happenings. It is short and a quick read:<br />
