For $10/hour (or a monthly membership), you get full run of the Maker's Gym — tempera and watercolors, the drawing station, collage and textile centers, all included. Want to level up? Professional Poscas and Copics live in locked, portable trays for a $5 rental, and premium surfaces like canvas or heavy watercolor paper are grab-and-go at the counter. Think of the base fee as your gym membership — the fancy equipment's just an add-on.

Nope, and that's the whole point. We sort by value tier, not sticker price. Loose odds and ends (buttons, beads, bottle caps) go into Fill-a-Bag pricing — $5 for a small scoop, $12 for the Mega Maker Box, lid-closes-flat or it doesn't leave the store. Standard supplies get the Sushi Dot treatment (green/blue/red stickers = tiered pricing you can spot from across the room). Anything genuinely special — vintage ephemera, premium fabric — gets its own individual tag.

Yes — they're our 3D-printed studio currency, shaped like little geometric salmonberries in Relentless Pink and Neon Lichen Green, each worth $10 (one Studio Hour). You can buy them as tangible gift cards, earn two automatically when you register for a 4-week track or host a birthday party here, or trade a 2-hour Community Shift (sorting salvage, prepping cardboard) for a full class-track's worth. There's also a Community Tip Jar at checkout — add a Spark if you're able, take one discreetly if you need it. No questions asked, no dignity lost.

Not inside the space itself — restrooms are nearby in the building. Kids sign out with an instructor before heading out, and depending on age, we use a buddy system so nobody's making that trip solo.

Give us 24+ hours notice on a 4-week series and you get a full refund or class credit — no drama. Inside 24 hours or a no-show, it's non-refundable (though missing just the first class is fine — it's missing the first two with no heads-up that counts as a no-show). Running late to a session? Come anyway — instructors will catch your kiddo up without making it a big deal.

Clothes you don't mind wrecking (we try to keep it contained, but glue guns and paint have opinions of their own), a labeled water bottle, hair ties for the long-haired crew, and a snack if your kid's the type who needs one. That's it — we've got the tools, the mess, and the chaos handled.
