Hi, I got an invite to become a member. It says £25 a month, which is fine. However, I am a little confused, what does £25 a month get me? If there is a link to a page that tells you then please share it.
It says to contribute some of my time, which is also fine.
I suppose I want to know, does it give me access to the workshop and access to tools? If yes, what are the limitations, hours, time spent etc.
The location is a bit far from my house, but it seems like a great community and that’s why i am very interested in joining. It will take me an hour to get there, but if I have to leave within an hour or something, then it might defeat the benefit of joining. I hope that makes sense.
Membership gives you access to the Space and the tools in it, plus it IS a community, so sometimes people come just to hang out with like minded people.
The Space is open when someone with shutter access is there, the sessions are posted on a private members only calendar, but typically it is open most afternoons, every evening and all weekend, but it does depend. Once you have been a member for a bit and get to know the community you can request shutter access, with 2 other shutter members vouching for you, you will then have 24x7 access to the Space, so won’t have to worry about when it is open.
Some tools require a safety induction so note you won’t be able to use everything on day 1.
Thanks Andy. I will sign up. Thanks for the quick response. I already have my own workspace in an arts charity space. Although it’s substantially discounted, it’s still a fair amount of money for me. However, I am not meeting people and I would like to learn from others and just be able to bounce stuff off people. Although amount isn’t huge, it does add up if you don’t have a regular income like me. So, I was trying work if travelling all the way would make sense. Thanks, hopefully see you soon.
