The Fabrication Studio is a dedicated communal building space at the Mission Hill Building for a variety of materials including metal, wood, and plastic. From a variety of saws to our new vacuum former, we have a wide range of tools to build with a variety of materials. We also provide installation kits for checkout to assist with hanging and other installation needs. Full training is available on diverse fabrication processes, as well as mandatory safety training. Consultations are available for sculptural design and engineering, materials resources and acquisition, or general “How do I…” questions.

Work in this shop requires the supervision of a studio manager or studio monitor at all times, as well as the completion of a safety training workshop.
