Membership Levels
We offer three different ways to join the Forge as a member. All levels include unlimited 24/7 access. As a Maker, you will have access to shared community tables, as well as all shops and equipment. We do ask that you make a 3 month commitment at the start of your membership. We invest time in you as a member, and we want you to have time to reap the benefits of our community! After that, membership is month to month.
As a member of The Forge, you will have access to discounts at local merchants, as well as member discounts on classes offered at The Forge. If you are particularly passionate about and skilled in a certain aspect of the craft, you will have the ability to partner with us as a class instructor at The Forge. Additionally, there are occasional opportunities to get connected to skilled contract work in the greater Nashville area.
