APPLY TO BE A Designated Bench MEMBER

NOW AVAILABLE — This membership was previously on a waitlist, but three benches are opening up soon.

Designated Bench Membership is for:

Metalsmiths + Jewelers (w/ experience) who like to leave their tools where they left them and pick up right where they stopped. This membership is for anyone who wants a private, fully equipped space without the hassle of setting up a studio at home, and who prefers to leave the mess “at work”.

What You Get:

  • A dedicated bench in one of two private studios, Studio Jasper or Studio Agate, each with a locking door and legit views of downtown Kansas City

  • 24/7 access to your personal workspace (never interrupted by workshops or events)

  • YOUR OWN bench setup with flex shaft, work light, tool shelf, and adjustable chair

  • YOUR OWN locking mobile cabinet and design table for expanded workspace and storage

  • Access to a shared soldering station within your studio, equipped with Smith Silversmith Torch (Acetylene + Air), Smith Little Torch (Propane + Oxygen), and butane torches

  • Full use of Alloy’s shared tools and equipment in the main studio

  • PLUS All Maker Membership Benefits: 20% off all workshops (including Make & Take, skill-based, private lessons, and private parties), 10% off merch, and 6 months of Rio Grande wholesale pricing.

  • PLUS All Social Membership Benefits: member-only events, private Facebook group, public directory listing, and free or discounted mini workshops.

What You Don’t Get:

  • Casting equipment — coming soon as a separate program

  • You’ll need to bring your own hand tools, consumables, and materials

Cost: $195/month

Your application will be reviewed, and if approved, we’ll follow up by email with next steps.
