Thank you, and welcome to Open Workshops!

Current members can manage their membership plan using our Membership Portal.

Family Memberships

Are you part of a family of makers (or makers-in-training)? We’re happy to offer a family membership at a discount of 10% off the normal price: for $45 per month, you can cover two named adults 16 and up, as well as any number of children under the age of 16. Please follow this link to purchase a family membership.

Need-based Reduced Price Memberships

As part of our mission to make crafting and STEAM as accessible as possible, we’re glad to be able to offer a reduced-price membership program for those in need. Reduced-price memberships are $10 per month, with the balance of the membership paid by a generous grant from the Lei and Chen Family Foundation.

Ultimately, the primary qualification for a reduced-price membership is that you would have a difficult time paying for or justifying the expense of a full-price membership, but here are a few common groups that we hope will take advantage of this program:

We have a limited number of reduced-price memberships available, so if you don’t need one, please leave them available for those who do. We hope we won't need it, but we reserve the right to investigate suspected abuse of the program and to terminate reduced-price memberships in cases of abuse.

Please follow this link to purchase a reduced-price membership.

Annual Memberships

If you want to pay in advance and save some money in the process, we also offer an annual membership for $250 a year, a 16% savings over a monthly membership. Annual memberships cannot currently be combined with family or reduced-price memberships - sorry! 

Please follow this link to purchase an annual membership.
