Studio Terms and Conditions

To keep "the studio" safe for everyone, studio renters must show experience with the equipment being used.

Torch renters must have experience on a surface-mixed torch and have taken an introduction workshop at the very least.

Soldering torch renters must have experience with the Gentec torch and have taken a soldering basics workshop at the very least.

Glass studio renters must have experience with the saws and grinders and have taken an introduction to glass fusing workshop at the very least.
