Additional Guest Information

Your ticket is for TWO adults, age 21+ and includes all materials, dinner, and amenities for the evening. Please only order ONE ticket per two attendees.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and for a workshop environment. Layers and long sleeves with closed-toe shoes are recommended. Open toed shoes may prohibit your participation in some stations like welding or blacksmithing.


Dinner & Drinks

Enjoy a delicious gourmet meal catered by a local favorite, plus great wine selections and craft beer selections from our neighbors at Land Grant Brewery, along with plenty of hors d'oeuvres and dessert goodies!

Our menu is posted above, but as is provided by a third-party the Idea Foundry cannot certify against specific food allergens. We are happy to connect you with Lindey's for specific dietary questions. Please email info@ideafoundry.com if you have dietary accommodation questions before ordering a ticket if that will affect your desire to attend. We may or may not be able to accommodate your dietary preference; cancellations will still need to adhere to the event cancellation policy below.

Because we're hosting you with wine & beer, all our activities have been made safe, but we are still a workshop environment. We reserve the right to refuse participation in any area if participants are visibly inebriated. Please enjoy your maker experiences FIRST and enjoy adult beverages responsibly!

Maker Experiences

You are welcome to spend as much or as little time at each station during the event hours as you wish to complete your project, and you can choose to skip areas that don't call to you.

We can't guarantee you'll have enough time to participate in ALL projects depending on how long you spend at each project area and if you choose to wait in line to participate in one station instead of moving to another open station. Most guests complete 4-6 project stations.

In the event of unforeseen circumstances, we reserve the right to make changes to the project lineup or food service if needed, without notice, but accommodations will be of the same value as those initially described.


Ticket Pricing:

Non Member: $315 (per couple)
Member Discount: $265 (per couple that includes at least one current member in good standing)
