No. Guild Membership is essentially "Studio Time for Self Guided Work". In order to get a Membership you have to take at least the Intro Class in the subject(s) you'd like to pursue. You can take classes with us without ever becoming a "Member"

Being a "Guild Member" is different than being a "Site Member" Site Members are registered client's on our website who can log in and manage their bookings online, save preferred forms of payments etc.. Guild members are returning students who pay a Monthly Membership fee to use our facilities for self-guided work during open studio/open forge hours. Once you took a class with us you may inquire about becoming a member in that medium. Our Faculty and Staff can provide you the enrollment information and paperwork. You can check out our membership options at www.guildfl.com/membership

Short answer: No.. We have serious reasons for the age limit that goes beyond safety, liability and physical ability considerations. We specifically developed Youth Programs for children aged 12-17 for these very reasons! Please check out these programs under the Youth Programs tab. But my child is really big and tall and athlethic!! : Sorry No. But my child is obsessed with "Forged in Fire" and he wants to become a blacksmith!!: The answer is Still No! How about if I or my significant other will sign up with my child : No, really sorry.. Long answer: Besides the liability and safety considerations.. our adult classes are designed with adults in mind. They are longer and physically very demanding even for grown men/women. We want everyone to have a great time, especially your child! If we put him/her in a group of adults where he/she will struggle to keep up, your child will hate this experience. The adults in the class will have to wait for your child to complete each step before everyone can move on, which will slow the class considerably and effects everyone else's experience... We have no way of screening the adult students your child would be surrounded by. Our Youth Programs are specifically designed with kids in mind. The projects are more exciting to them and broken down into bite-sized portions. A typical 12-17 year old gets tired and looses focus after three hours of straight physical activity, focusing and learning, hammering etc.. With that being said, our Welding, Woodworking, Leathercraft and Ceramics classes may be attended from age 16 and up with parental presence. If you have any further questions please reach out. Thank you for your understanding!
