Memberships at Curios & Notions

A small studio with a big purpose.

Curios & Notions is a community-rooted studio for craft, repair, and cultural memory. Memberships help us keep the space open, sustainable, and accessible — while offering real value to the people who use it most.

Whether you’re a neighbor who stops in from time to time, a maker who works with your hands every day, or someone who wants to support rural arts and culture from afar, there’s a place for you here.
