Question 1

What is my ticket money paying for?

Accepted Answer

Since DIYD is a non-profit, most of DIYD’s general expenses are paid for via grants, sponsorships, and individual donations. Ticket sales help us to offset the costs of specific workshop expenses, such as teacher fees and workshop materials.

Question 2

Why should I make a donation to DIYD beyond the full cost of a ticket?

Accepted Answer

If you are able to make a donation to DIYD beyond the cost of the general admission ticket, your donation will help DIYD continue to offer the “pay-what-you-can” ticket model for attendees for whom the cost of admission would be a barrier to entry.

Question 3

What is a class size of a DIYD workshop?

Accepted Answer

Class size in workshops typically ranges from 5 to 15 people, depending on the topic.

Question 4

Can I bring my child with me to the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Unless we are explicitly offering childcare, we ask that you do not bring children under 16 to our workshops as our venue is not child-safe and there is no space for them to spend time during the workshop. Children over the age of 16 are welcome to join as a workshop participant.

Question 5

What should I wear to the workshop?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend that participants wear close-toed, comfortable shoes, and durable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty or dusty. If you have long hair, it is recommended that you bring a hair tie to put it up during the hands-on portions of the workshops.

Question 6

Do I need to bring my own tools?

Accepted Answer

DIYD will provide all tools and safety equipment for all participants at each workshop. If you do have your own tools, we encourage you to bring them to a tool-specific workshop if you’d like the opportunity to learn more about the tools you already have.
