Becoming a Member

OPEN TO ALL!

To become a member, simply come into the Brown Design Workshop, identify a Monitor (wearing an apron), and ask them to assist you in making an ID badge. It's that easy! Anyone can join. Users who are not enrolled/staff/faculty at Brown University must sign a waiver upon entering the space for the first time (this includes RISD students), and minors must have a parent or guardian sign an additional waiver. The waiver is Here.

IDs are required whenever you are in the space. Please swipe in when you arrive and swipe out when you are finished.

To learn to use our tools, you can attend our workshops.

Typically, workshops cover skills for a specific tool, workshop and tool safety as well as best practices. Upon completing a workshop, you will be given a sticker that signifies mastery of the given workshop and will allow you to work on that tool, in the space, during monitored hours.
