Guests at Loveland CreatorSpace

Loveland CreatorSpace welcomes visitors, friends, and curious makers. Guests help introduce new people to the community and allow members to share what they’re working on. To keep the space safe, fair, and sustainable, all guests must follow the guidelines below.

Guest Access Overview

Guests are welcome at Loveland CreatorSpace, but guest access is intended for occasional visits, tours, and trying out the space — not ongoing use. Anyone who wishes to use the space regularly, access tools independently, or participate in training should become a member.

Guests must always be accompanied by a member and must follow all safety and supervision rules.

Guest Waiver Requirement

All guests must complete the Loveland CreatorSpace Guest Waiver Agreement before entering the Shop.

• The waiver only needs to be completed once.

• After signing, the guest may return for future visits as a guest, provided they are accompanied by a member.

• Guests must still check in with the accompanying member each visit.

The waiver ensures:

• the guest understands safety expectations

• the guest acknowledges risks

• the guest agrees to follow instructions and posted rules

What Guests Can Do

Guests may:

• observe projects

• socialize

• attend public events

• participate in classes or workshops (if registered)

• use low‑risk tools in the Front only under direct supervision of the accompanying member

Guests may not:

• use Shop tools independently

• use restricted or high‑risk equipment

• be left alone anywhere in the space

• access the space without a member present

Guest Access Expectations

Guest access is designed for short‑term or occasional use, such as:

• touring the space

• trying out a class

• visiting with a member

• attending a community event

If a guest begins using the space frequently — especially for tool access, projects, or training — they should transition to a membership. This ensures:

• fair use of shared resources

• proper training and authorization

• consistent safety practices

• support for the community and facility

Members are encouraged to invite guests, but ongoing guest use is not a substitute for membership.

Guests vs. Members

Guests:

• Must be accompanied by a member

• Must follow supervision rules

• Cannot use most tools

• Cannot access the space independently

• Cannot vote or participate in member governance

• Must sign the Guest Waiver once

Members:

• Receive 24/7 access

• May use tools with proper training

• May attend member meetings and vote

• May bring guests

• May participate in training and authorization

• Support the space through dues

Bringing Minors as Guests

Minors may visit as guests, but:

• they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian

• they must follow the Minor Access Policy

• they must be listed on the Minor Access & Supervision Agreement

• they may only use tools allowed for their age group

• they may not use Shop tools without same‑room parental supervision

If a member wishes to bring minors regularly, they should upgrade to a Family Membership.

Becoming a Member

If a guest enjoys the space and wants to:

• work on personal projects

• use tools independently

• attend training

• participate in the community

• bring minors as part of their household

…then becoming a member is the right next step.
