How BARN works
Ready to get started?
Take a class
Everyone is welcome! Classes are online or at BARN and are open to anyone high school age and up. You don’t need to be a member — BARN classes are a great thing to do while visiting Bainbridge Island. In addition, summer and after-school classes are offered for teens and tweens. What will you make at BARN?
