Welcome to BARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network)
Find out how BARN can add craft and invention to your life. A non-profit makerspace and learning place, BARN has studios for everything from Electronic & Technical Arts to Woodworking. Take a class, work on a project, or come to share your knowledge with others. BARN is a unique place where well-equipped studios invite exploration and innovation.
• Everyone is welcome – you do not need to be a BARN member to participate. Taking a class is a great way to learn more about a studio and meet others who share your interests. All classes are open to ages 14 and up.
• Interested in joining a studio? Visit the studio pages on our website to learn more about each studio and see a complete schedule of upcoming events.
• Have questions, want to take a look inside the studios, or share BARN with family and friends? Take a free guided tour any Sunday between 1pm and 3pm.
• COVID Safety: Everyone entering the building and all in-person class participants must be fully vaccinated. “Fully vaccinated” includes a booster for those who are 6 months or more past their initial vaccination date. See our complete COVID safety protocols.
You can always help sustain BARN’s mission by donating! Donate here to join your friends and fellow community members in making this center a well-equipped and welcoming place.
