Torch Time

Open Studio, For Artists Who've Already Struck a Flame

Torch Time is independent bench access for anyone who's used a torch before. Right now, that means one thing on the calendar: Fourth Friday Freestyle — and it's the easiest way to find out if ongoing studio access, as a member, is right for you.

Who Torch Time Is For

If you've ever been on a torch — one of our classes, an Experience night, or elsewhere entirely — you're welcome at Torch Time. There's no pathway you have to complete first and no test to pass. This is independent bench time for people who already know the basics and want room to work on their own projects, with instructors nearby if you need them.

Before Your First Session

Getting Set Up Is Quick

This happens once — after your first visit, you're set for every Torch Time session going forward.

01

Sign the Waiver

A standard studio safety waiver, signed once before your first session.

02

Safety Demo

A quick walkthrough of the studio and torch safety, built right into your first Freestyle session — no separate appointment needed.

03

Get Your Access Code

Once you're signed off, you'll get a code to get into the studio — yours to use for every Torch Time session after that.

After this, you're fully set up — no repeating the waiver or demo on future visits.
