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”.

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
