Rent Open Studio Time

Procedure

When you arrive for Open Studio, please check in at the Program Office on the first floor to sign-in on the clipboard inside the door. When you are done in the studio, please sign out on the clipboard in the Program Office. This is where we will keep track of the hours you spend in the studio.

Hourly rentals are good from the time you check-in at the Program Office. Daily rentals are good for one single calendar day. Be sure to arrive early to get the most out of your daily rental. Monthly rentals are good for one month from the date of your first visit.

All Open Studio rentals are valid for one year from the date of purchase.

Rabbit Laser

Donated by Dr. Peter R. Johnson and Joanne Johnson, with support from the Ayers Foundation

Our machine is the Rabbit Laser RL-80-1290 model. The cutting bed is 47.2″ x 35.4″. The laser can cut and engrave wood, bamboo, paper, leather, wool felt, natural fabrics, and acrylic up to 1/4″. It can also engrave marble, glass, crystal, and ceramic. It is highly accurate, with location precision of less than 0.01mm.

Laser Certification Workshops are offered on the third Thursday of every month from 6pm-9pm.  Once you have taken the workshop, you will be certified to rent time on the Rabbit Laser.

I want to take a certification workshop!

I am certified and would like to rent time!
