Using the Foundry 

• Patrons have the option of using the Foundry in one of two ways.

• Patrons can also sign up in advance for a class taught by an instructor.  All materials are provided during our classes. 

• Please note a signed liability waiver is required for any activity in the Foundry makerspace.
