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, after passing studio area check-outs, current and past students can use The Crucible’s tools and equipment during regular studio hours.
