About

Did you know that the Fiber Arts Studio has a room with sinks, stove, washer and dryer, as well as other equipment and supplies -- all dedicated to fiber crafts that use these kinds of resources.

Known as the “Lab,” this room in BARN’s Fiber Arts Studio supports a variety of surface design and related techniques, including natural and synthetic dyeing, eco-printing, screen printing, felting, paper-making, and more!

This Basic Orientation introduces the Lab and is a prerequisite for using the space independently.

We will show you around, talk about best practices surrounding safety and sustainability, and then set up a follow up time to discuss the sorts of work you would like to do in this space and whether there are any additional prerequisites for it before you are signed off to use the Lab on your own. (This follow up is also required before you are cleared for independent use).

We welcome everyone to take this Basic Orientation, even if you have no specific plans for the Lab and are just curious about this wonderful resource.

Please register so we know how many to expect at the orientation session.

Ages: Ages 12+ welcome.  Children under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by an adult.
