Welcome to BARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network)

Dear BARN community:

The seeds of new openings are being sown as I write this! A few staff members are back “at” BARN, working remotely with our intrepid studio volunteers to post classes online and to develop safety protocols for welcoming folks back into the building. BARN is part of Governor Inslee’s Phase Three reopening, so we are aiming for June 22nd to enable fobs once again. We will open quietly, with smaller numbers in our studios, and most classes held online through July.

With the ingenuity and dedication of this community, we will be “learning, teaching, sharing and inspiring one another” once again, however we can! Meanwhile, the community service aspects of our mission are in full swing, and people are crafting learning opportunities in all kinds of creative ways.

Here’s hoping that you are all well, in body, mind and spirit,
Denise
