Orientation:

All new artists to Dinderbeck must first go through an orientation. This will cover the general use of the shop, safety, and the basics of each piece of equipment. This is meant to give you a sense of familiarity with the layout and capabilities, but not to teach you any processes. If you desire to learn a new process it is recommended that you schedule an appointment for a private lesson. Artists can then become authorized for processes following the orientation.

(Please note that as of Summer 2023 orientation is on hiatus as we don’t have anyone to run it.)
