IF MY HOME LOCATION IS MAEK FRIENDS, CAN I STILL GO TO GATHER SEWING STUDIO?
Your membership gives you access to all Maek studios! Whatever studio you are closest to / spend the majority of your time in will be your home studio but you can allocate your 24 hours of membership to any of our three studios! more info on our Membership page.

WE DO NOT OFFER GUEST OR SINGLE DAY PASSES. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TRYING OUT THE STUDIO WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU BOOK A SPOT IN ONE OF OUR MONTHLY CLAY CURIOUS CLASSES!

MAEK FRIENDS IS A 18+ STUDIO. IN AN EFFORT TO BE INCLUSIVE, WE ASK THAT YOU LEAVE YOUR FUR BABIES AT HOME.
