Sliding Scale
We keep our membership costs as low as possible while still covering the cost of consumable supplies and studio overhead. If you are interested in membership but the cost is prohibitive, we invite you to fill out our sliding scale application. The number of sliding scale memberships we can support is limited, so please only apply if you cannot afford to pay in full.
