Accessibility

Are you in a wheel chair? There is wheel chair access in the building, however not all of the tools are accessible or set up to be operated safely by someone in a wheel chair. Some modifications in the shop can be made if we know in advance that you are coming.

Do you have a low scent tolerance? We ask that our participants refrain from using extreme scents, though cannot guarantee the workshop space will be scent free. Please know that sawdust is present in the shop and we have masks available upon request.

Are you ASL? We currently don’t have translation available, and would love to work with you about how you can access our workshops.

COVID-19 Protocols

Your safety is our highest priority, so we have put safety protocols in place for all of our in-person events to keep everyone safe. Those protocols are:

  • Reduced class sizes (no more than 8 participants).

  • All instructors, assistants, and participants will be required to wear masks while attending the retreat. We do not have enough masks to provide to everyone, so you will be required to provide your own mask.

  • Instructors and participants may be required to have their temperature taken (using a touchless thermometer) prior to the start of each day at the retreat.

  • Social distancing will be implemented when possible and appropriate.

  • Sanitizer will be provided during the retreat.

  • Everyone should follow recommended safety precautions, such as coughing into your elbow and refraining from touching their face.

  • All of the tools, equipment, door handles, cabinet and drawer handles, etc. that are touched will be disinfected each day of the retreat.
