Open StudioStudio Hours with Nina The Open Studio is a supervised studio access program for makers who want time and space to work on their own projects. It provides access to the Lonsdale Leather studio, tools, and machines in a shared working environment. *This is not a class or workshop*. No formal instruction is provided. Staff are available to answer questions and offer guidance when needed, but skills and fundamentals are not taught during Open Studio hours. How the Open Studio Works Participants book a three hour studio session and work independently on their own projects. Sessions are available in the morning or evening. Participants may stay for the full session or attend for part of the time. The session fee remains the same. Studio Access Participants have access to shared studio equipment, including industrial sewing machines, skivers, sanders, and other shop tools. Materials are not included. Participants are expected to bring their own materials, glue, thread, and project plans. Some materials are available for purchase during store hours.
