Pricing & Memberships
Whether you drop in for a couple of classes a month or join us as a member, every bit helps. As a nonprofit organization, our mission is to sustain this dedicated space for education, Kinbaku, and community for the long haul. To us, this isn't a commercial venture—it’s our way of giving back to the community we love.
We intentionally price our single tickets to be as accessible as possible, while our memberships offer a more affordable path for regular participants. Because we are a nonprofit, your financial support goes directly toward sustaining our studio, fairly compensating our instructors, and funding vital community programming. Whether you are here for social connection, open practice, or deep skill development, there is a tier that fits how you participate and helps keep our doors open.
