Handwork Tickets on Their Way
Tech Lab access levels up for members. Handwork Week tickets are almost here. Scary tales will be told. And REFRACT is bringing a full weekend of glass art to BARN, complete with an exhibition, a documentary screening, and live demos. There's a lot going on in October!
Don’t Miss the Rock Swap and Shop!
The Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio’s annual Rock Swap and Shop, a free community event, is set for 10 AM – 1 PM on Sunday, Sept. 20. Bring rocks, beads, tools, and lapidary odds and ends to trade or give away, and dig through what other makers bring, too. It's BARN's favorite treasure hunt, free and open to rock hounds, beginners, and curious neighbors alike.
Rock September at Free Rock Swap and Shop (and Fall Classes)
Don’t miss our free, community-wide swap of rocks, gems, and lapidary finds, from raw stones to polished cabochons, at our Rock Swap and Shop 10 AM to 1 PM on Sunday, Sept. 20. And take a look at our highlighted fall classes in all 11 of our studios.
Fall is for Fixing, Swapping, Supporting, and Learning
