Orientation
$30
Everyone working in the PTCPS must attend an orientation. This includes intake, “Safe-Space Clause”, community agreements, explanation of memberships, how to treat the space and the equipment. In order to use the equipment and tools at the PTCPS you must either perform proficiency or take an introductory class. These introductory classes include an orientation, so that fee will be waived.
E-mail us to schedule your orientation after purchase.
Open Studio Hours are a great time to receive the Orientation.
You can purchase membership at your Orientation, but need to have the Orientation first!
