Accessing the space: How it works

Step 1: Get certified!

Before using our workshops and equipment, you’ll need to complete either a Fast Track assessment (for experienced makers) or a Level 1 class to get certified in the area you want to use. This ensures everyone in the space is trained and working safely.

Step 2: Get a Membership

Once certified, choose the access option that works best for you! Whether you want full monthly membership access or prefer a more flexible punch pass, we’ve got options to fit your schedule and creative goals.

With certification and membership in place, you’re ready to start creating! Book time on equipment, join community events, and bring your projects to life in a well-equipped, collaborative space.

MontHly Membership

For makers who want ongoing access to CREATE, a monthly membership is the best value. Memberships provide access 9am - 9pm during your selected time frame (weekend, weekday, or all week), plus perks like:

  • 10% off all classes

  • 30 minutes of free CNC & Laser Cutter time each month

  • 10% off in-house consumables and materials

  • 50% off fresh clay

  • a better commission rate in the Makershop (coming soon).

  • +unique perks to each workshop/studio space

Punch Pass

Need a bit more flexibility? A Punch Pass lets you access the space when you need it, without the commitment of a membership. Great for those with busy schedules or who just need occasional access.

Just need access for one day? We also offer one-day drop-ins for purchase at the front desk at a cost of $60/day.

Member Guest Passes

We get it, sometimes a project is hard to do with just one set of hands. Members can bring a guest to assist with their projects, either as a helper (no tools) or with limited hand tool use.

  • For when you need help safely maneuvering your project between steps, or simply need a second opinion.

    • Guests may assist with holding materials, moving projects, or observing.

    • No tool use permitted.

    • Guest must complete a waiver before entering the shop.

  • For when you need a more active helper who does some of the work for you.

    • Guests may assist with basic hand tools and hand-operated power tools (cordless drills, sanders, etc.) — woodshop only

    • No access to:

      • Fixed power tools (table saw, mitre saw, etc)

      • Metal Shop

      • Pottery Studio

      • Textiles Studio

    • Guest must complete a waiver before entering the shop.

    • Supervision by the host member is required at all times.

  • For an Active Helper who has previously completed CREATE’s Level 1 or Fast Track Certification, your guest may also use the full range of fixed Wood and/or Metal tools that they are certified for during their visit.

    • This certified guest use is limited to:

      • Working alongside their host member on the same project.

      • Under active supervision and shared responsibility.

Member Responsibility:

Members are fully responsible for the actions of their guests while on site. Any damage, misuse of tools, safety violations, or costs incurred due to a guest will be charged to the accompanying member.

Guest passes are designed for short-term helpers. For independent access, guests should register for a class or membership.
