Welcome to the public wiki for Artisan’s Asylum, Inc., a non-profit community workshop in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Our mission is to support the teaching, learning and practice of fabrication. Read on to learn how to make, learn and teach here.
This wiki is currently under development. The wiki working group is building the foundational information architecture, templates, and Style guide for adding content so that information is easy to find and read. We are planning on a soft launch in January 2024. Reach out to Aaron Charlwood, who is currently leading the working group, if you have any burning questions.
Facility
Our 52,000 sqft facility spans two buildings. Antwerp, at 55 Antwerp St. and Holton, at 96 Holton St. These two buildings share a parking lot and you can usually find a steady stream of carts with projects traveling between the two.
Holton
| |
|---|---|
| Holton Floorplan |
Holton is our "HQ" building. This is where most of our social gatherings are, our classrooms, our administrative offices and conference rooms. It's also where you pick up your mail when you're a member. There is a friendly "Deskie" there to greet you as you walk in the door. You would sign in with them, if you are a visitor. Holton also houses 7 shops: Jewelry Shop, Casting Shop, Screenprinting Shop, Composites Shop, Digital Fabrication, Fiber Arts, and "E&R" or Electronics and Robotics are all located in Holton.
Public Access
Front desk hours are:
- Monday - Friday 9am - 10pm
- Saturday - Sunday 9am - 7pm
Tours are given throughout the week
- Tuesdays 3:15pm
- Thursdays 6:15pm
- Fridays 12:00pm
- Sundays 3:15pm
Antwerp
| |
|---|---|
| Antwerp Floorplan |
Antwerp is the "Heavy Equipment" building, and is a "Members Only" area. The vibe is a little more industrial. This is where pallet storage lives, as well as shelf storage. This building houses 5 shops, and they are the largest shops: Wood Shop, Machine Shop, Metal Shop, Finishing Shop, Plasma Shop, and Bike Shop.
Loading Dock Deliveries
Shop staff & volunteers are not involved in receiving vendor deliveries in Antwerp. Each member is responsible for the coordination of their own delivery to the Antwerp loading docks.
Tools
Tools? We GOT tools! Here's an exhaustive list of documented tools. Each documented tool should have a location on where to find it, a link to tool training, as well as any information regarding the operation or maintenance of the tool.
Shops
