We know how difficult and expensive it is to set up your own workshop with all the equipment you need to do the projects that interest you. That’s why we’ve started the CREATE program.

CREATE stands for the Crucible’s Expanded Access to Tools & Equipment. The Crucible offers you the opportunity to use our tools and equipment through our new CREATE program.

Through the CREATE program, current and past students at The Crucible students can use The Crucible’s tools and equipment during hours when The Crucible’s studio is open. 

Simply sign up for studio area check-out for your area of interest and be sure you've taken the prerequisite entry level class. After safety check-out approval, you can begin using our workshop for your own projects.

Prices for CREATE Access:     $300 per 10-week session for Fall, Winter & Spring
                                             $175 for 5-week session in Summer

Locker rental $50/month for CREATE Members
