Here’s something very cool for all you creative types. Artist’s Asylum is a newly opened non-profit community workshop (with facilities on Windsor St. and Joy St. in Somerville) whose mission is to “make creativity a way of life.”

They’re gathering skilled artisans from the Boston area to teach classes of all kinds, including precision metal machining, woodworking, welding, fabricwork, painting, photography, and much more. Currently they’re taking a survey to see what types of classes people in the community would be most interested in. Visit their site for more information, take the survey, and get involved!
