* Students may work in studios after the posted workshop hours until 10:45 p.m. Students will not be permitted to use power tools when they are alone in any shop. While staff members and instructors will often be found in the studio during evening hours helping students, they are not obligated to be present after the posted workshop hours. Youth workshop participants may only work within the studio during regularly scheduled class times.

From families to college students to retired adults, Touchstone’s students come from a wide variety of audience groups. Therefore, Touchstone asks that students respect the campus-wide quiet time of 11:00 p.m. If students feel compelled to continue to celebrate later into the evening, we ask that they, as a courtesy, convene at least 100 yards away from any residential facility.
