Page created: January 2023
Members: Please use this sheet as a friendly list of highlights to give when taking a prospective member on a tour.
==Information for Visitors==
Ensure that visitors receive the following information:
* We are 100% volunteer-run, no staff
* We are intended for adults, however supervised kids are allowed to be here.
** Bonus points for seeing family generations instructing here. We love that.
* Members are responsible for their own safety at all times.
* Guests rules - members may bring in guests if supervised. Guests are not to use tools that require training or that are designated member-only.
* Dues are how the space is paid for. (including what happens when you don’t pay)
==Front Room==
* Front door for public events (TONs)
* Social Space
* Classes and lectures can happen here
* Tools: 3d printer, 3d scanner, vacuum former, printer, piano
* Cubicon: first large tool purchase with no grants. It just works (far less finicky than most)
* Show off the cool things in the room.
* [[Artist in Residence]] program: currently on hold.
==Fabtronics==
* Explain the name (FABric arts and elecTRONICS)
* Tool: Sewing items, Serger, Silhouette machine, CNC embroidery, Reflow oven, soldering iron, reflow station
==Kitchen==
* Highlight [[Drink Fridge]]
* Mural is cool
* Keep tools out of this space
* This is a great space to talk about the guest policy
==Studios/Bathrooms/Lockers/Member Entrance==
* Where they are
* Lockers are currently available on a first come first serve basis.
* 24/7 access to the space
==Layup/Storage==
* Layup is for temporary storage of items drying/curing
* Large item storage is temporary storage of active projects
==Laser==
* Very high use tool - be patient if you want to use
* Materials: (¼” plastics and wood, leather, foam core)
==Metal Shop==
* Most tools in here need training
* How training works
* Some of it is self-study, and approval from certain members
* Training courses will teach you how to safely and effectively operate machinery but only present basic knowledge. Members are encouraged to engage in self-learning to hone skills and develop advanced techniques.
==Wood Shop==
* Training
* Kwartzlab does not supply materials
* Minimal budgets for basic items like glue
* Cleaning policy - always clean up after yourself
* Safety boards
==Tour's End==
From here, take them back to the front. Some may want an interview at this time - list the basic process of applying:

* Safety - all members are responsible for their own safety
* Ask a member for an interview if you are interested in joining!
