How can I request an accommodation?
We strive to make the Craft Center accessible and welcoming for everyone! If you need an accommodation, please contact us with questions or concerns, so we can make arrangements to best support you. You can email us at craftctr@uoregon.edu. We’ll work with you to ensure you have a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable experience at the Craft Center.
How do I sign the safety waiver?
All Craft Center participants are required to sign the safety waiver to access the Craft Center studios for Open Studio, workshops, and studio orientations. To save time, you can sign up in advance of registration by following these instructions:
- Visit myemu.uoregon.edu.
- Log in with your Duck ID or Community Member login.
- On the main page, go to "Craft Center Workshops." Find and click on any workshop listed. In the workshop description, the first line should read, "Click here to activate the required Waiver Membership." Click the "Memberships" link.
- Choose "Craft Center - Waiver." Select the one-year option and add to your cart.
- Click in the gray box to sign the waiver. Click "Save," then "Sign Now."
- Select "Checkout." You will receive an automatic email notification confirming the signed waiver. You can now register for workshops and orientations for the rest of the year without needing to resign the waiver.
Can I get a refund if I can no longer attend a workshop?
To request a refund, you must email craftctr@uoregon.edu. Refunds for workshop registration fees are available up to five business days prior to the first workshop meeting. No refund option is available after that point. Withdrawal from a workshop is subject to a $10 withdrawal fee per workshop. Full registration fees will be refunded if the Craft Center cancels a workshop.
Refunds will not be given for Open Studio Passes after studio use has started. No prorated passes are available. Refunds for Term Passes are not available.
A workshop I want to take is full. Is there a waitlist?
Craft Center workshops can fill up quickly. After a workshop is full, you have the option of adding your name to a waitlist. In the event that a seat becomes available in a workshop:
- If the start of the workshop is five days away or more, we will contact the first person on the waitlist, and give 24 hours to respond (Saturday, Sunday, and holidays excluded). If there is no reply in 24 hours, we will move on to the next person on the waitlist.
- If the start of the workshop is fewer than five days away, we will attempt to contact each person on the list in order, and offer the seat to the first person who responds.
If you haven’t received confirmation of an available seat in a workshop from a Craft Center staff member, we kindly ask that you wait to attend until you hear from us directly. While we’d love to accommodate everyone, we can only guarantee a spot if someone officially withdraws and we notify you.
What are the Craft Center policies?
- Safety is a top priority. We have guidelines posted in each studio, and orientations cover key safety practices. Please follow instructions and wear any required safety gear.
- Closed-toe shoes are required for entry into any Craft Center studio. You will be turned away if you are not wearing proper footwear.
- Please pull back long hair and tuck away long or dangly jewelry.
- Safety glasses, hearing protection, dust masks, and hair ties are available at the front desk.
- We advise wearing clothes you don’t mind getting messy in. Aprons are available in most studios.
- There is no food or drink allowed in any studio spaces at the Craft Center unless it is a lidded water bottle or coffee cup.
- Guests are welcome to visit the Craft Center for tours, but they are not allowed to be in studio for long periods of time or working without an orientation. No children are allowed in Craft Center Studios even with an adult unless for specific events.
