Welcome to BARN (Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network)

Dear BARN Community,

BARN is coming alive again, with open studios and a very few in-person classes on the schedule! Many studios are offering open studios again, most with required pre-registration. Check the full BARN Calendar or a specific studio calendar for Open Studio schedules. As always, required prerequisites in specific studios still apply, as well as all of BARN’s safety protocols, both before and since the arrival of the pandemic.

Check out our summer youth programs and upcoming in-person classes. New classes are being added frequently.

BARN’s online classes have gained an enthusiastic following, and are now an ongoing part of BARN’s offered opportunities. As the weather warms, there will also be outdoor class opportunities, and gradually some in-studio classes for small groups of people.

May sunny days and hopeful times continue to increase,

Denise M. Dumouchel, PhD
Executive Director
