Woodworking Sets Sights on Stringed Instruments
It's October and the Woodworking & Small Boatbuilding Studio is full of opportunities for you to try something you haven’t built before, from hand-cut joinery to your very own ukulele, from wood turning to cabinet hardware, toggle clamp jigs, end tables, and even spoons!
Writers Get Scared and Get Together
We're getting spooky with a night of ghost stories; opening registration for Story Island Writers' conference, which sells out every year; and celebrating a fellow writer's debut novel, among other things. Grab a notebook.
October Classes at BARN
Handwork Week general registration is open, Refract is back, and there's a harvest dinner worth clearing your calendar for. Here's what's happening at BARN this October!
‘Tis the Season for Every Kind of Cooking
From tamales and bourbon tastings to holiday baking and a Persian-inspired feast, there’s a class for every kind of cook in the Culinary Arts Studio heading into the fall season. On our menu are classes for Afro-Brazilian, French, Korean, Vietnamese, and Japanese dishes, to say nothing of medicinal herbs, pumpkin tricks, youth classes, and more.
Fall Holds Firsts and Favorites for Drawing & Painting
The Drawing & Painting Studio debuts its first-ever water-soluble oil painting class (starts Oct. 10, 10 AM – 12:30 PM), puts a Halloween spin on Inktober, and rolls out a full slate of pastel, ink, and mixed-media classes. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or looking to try a new medium, there’s a place for you at the easel this season.
Fiber Arts Welcomes a New Loom and New Classes
A generous donation of a Glimåkra loom, dedicated volunteers, and a few new class offerings (including open studio times for little loom weaving) means there's plenty to explore in the studio this season.
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
A granddaughter brings “A Handweaver’s Pattern Book’ back, Handwork Week returns in the spring of 2027, the free and popular Teen Nights are back on the calendar, Fix-It Fair is getting close, and, the next day, Rock Swap and Shop returns to the Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio. And get your Night at BARN tickets before they’re gone!
September in the Tech Lab
The Tech Lab keeps humming along this September with laser cutting, 3D printing, and a brand-new vector graphics class landing on the schedule. Laser 101 opens up BARN's laser cutter to first-timers, while Introduction to 3D Printing and Vector Graphics 101 build out your digital fabrication toolkit.
Coming Up in the Wood Shop – August
The Woodworking & Small Boat Building Studio is is full of cabinet and furniture making, from a free intro to crafting a liquor cabinet to a six-meeting build of a modern end table. We’re also launching a brand-new Youth Woodworking Apprentice series, where young makers can join for a single month or all four. There is a lot to build! Come find your next project.
Coming up in the Writers’ Studio – August
Save the dates for BARN’s three-day Story Island Writers’ Conference in November, and be sure to check out September Writers’ Studio classes like Conversation With Purpose: Making Dialogue Count, Comps Night, Community Class: Write the Letter You Won’t Send, and Writing Fundamentals: Book Marketing 101. Don’t forget Sept. 30 is the deadline for our Dark and Stormy Short-Story Contest!
Culinary Arts Fall Classes Are Live!

Our New Platform Is Almost Here
