Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Walk into the open studio during posted hours, or sign up for a free class or event through the events page, which uses Eventbrite..

You can just show up.

What to expect

The open studio is for working on a project you bring or starting a new one, alongside the community and staff. Classes are free and cover painting, drawing, sewing, weaving and laser cutter design. The site does not say how long a class runs or how often it meets.

Tips for your first visit

  • Bring a project to work on, or come ready to start something new.
  • Check the events page first, since many events need an advance sign up.
  • Call (267) 686-7420 or email info@taconylab.org with questions about classes, parking or transit, since the site does not cover those.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: Classes are free, the open studio runs posted hours, and the monthly open sew says no experience is needed. Many events need advance registration, so the group is not rated 5..
