All you need is closed-toe shoes and an open mind.

Required Clearance Classes

Many of our workshop areas require clearance classes as a prerequisite for use. Use of the following equipment/areas require attending a clearance class before being able to attend the skill-building workshops.

  • CNC Router
  • CNC Embroidery Machine
  • Woodworking Hand Power Tools (i.e. circular saw, router, air nailer, reciprocating saw, and jig saw)
  • Large Woodworking Tools
  • Laser Cutter
  • Laser Rotary Accessory (Prerequisite: Laser Cutter Clearance)
  • Pottery Studio
  • Jewelry Station
  • xTools Laser Cutter

Do I have to take training classes if I already know how to use the tools?

Unless you have extensive experience using a particular tool, you will still be required to take clearance classes in order to use that tool. If you do have extensive experience, you will be credited a clearance only after a review of our policies and a reduced fee.
