Email Directory
Due to the high volume of email inquiries the Asylum receives on a daily basis, please read through the following options. All of the following are @artisansasylum.com.
Want to learn more about news, updates, and events?
Sign up for our monthly newsletter!
Want access to our tools, classes, and space?
- front-desk@ For general information about our available programs, services, classes, events, and membership. If our front desk can’t answer your question right away, they’ll connect you to the person who can.
- member-services@ For inquiries about studio and storage space rental, and other related questions.
- facilities@ For inquiries about tools and equipment
Want help with a project or idea?
- Discuss: For all technical inquiries and all “can you help me or teach me?” and “what do you guys think of this?” questions. Goes to a Google Group of members of the Artisan’s Asylum and our extended community of makers. You can ask to join the Google Group to post message and participate in the discussion.
- Have it Made: For requests for custom paid design and fabrication work to be done by Artisan’s members. These requests go to a discussion list, and can be sent by e-mailing have-it-made@. Note that we do not operate as a job shop here at the Asylum, but we do have a number of members who run jobs out of the space. Artisan’s Asylum will make no recommendations and takes no responsibility for the quality of work arranged through the have-it-made list — we are simply facilitating communication.
- Make a Makerspace: Similar to Have it Made, we host an indexable archive and discussions over on our forums.
Want more information about us or how to get involved?

Are you looking for the Google Groups or the Forums?
Artisan’s Asylum also hosts a forum to foster discussions, which you can sign up for at our forums here. In addition, we have a number of Google Group based mailing lists, some of which you can join and some which are more technical; they’re all listed on our bookstack (wiki) here.
