Even though COVID has restricted the amount of people that can be in the building at once, and in a class (shop area), we have continued to teach smaller classes. There are also one-on-one class opportunities for individuals seeking less contact. Through TinkerMill's website you can learn more about what our precautions and processes are during this time.

UPDATE 6-16-2021

TinkerMill is now allowed full capacity. Boulder county health has lifted the mask restrictions for those who have been fully vaccinated. However, in the interest of preserving our right to remain open and the safety of our patrons we ask that you maintain wearing a mask while inside the facility.
