From 2017-2020, Tube Factory Artspace offered a tool lending library and shop safety training workshops that taught first aid, safety, rules of the shop, tool usage – both woodworking and metalworking. The tool lending library program was based on Station North Tool Library in Baltimore.
The Tube Factory Toolshop is Big Car’s wood shop and studio located in the lower level of the Tube Factory artspace. It currently serves as our space for fabrication needs as well as a space for providing shop classes, other print and trade workshops.
We now work with young people – primarily TeenWorks, Christel House Academy, and Herron High School – to build both physical objects and important skills with individuals.
