Curator: Ronja @ronja:x-hain.de

¶ Donations
Of course any donations help us run and take care of the space, but a suggestion is around 1€ per hour of working in the jewelry workshop so we can restock consumables and take care of the space.
For the Materials it's okay to pay a bit less than the recommended amount for brass/german silver, but please stick to the recommended donation amounts for silver as we have to stop offering it if people take from that without donating.

¶ FAQ:
- can we use art clay?
- no. not without a kiln and good ventilation setup.
- can we do metal casting?
- not well, but small scale (a few grams) and with specific metals is possible. Talk to a curator.
- can we get [X specific tool]
- probably not? The branch is new and doesnt have much money, so we have to be intentional about what we buy and I want to start with a focus on making artisinal handiwork nice to learn and do.
- Its still good to mention things to shape plans for the future and to know what people are interrested in!
- I'm also planning to make a place to collect peoples wishes/input, but lets get this off the floor first
