About

Please note summer hours. From July 10 through Aug. 16, Open Studio on Wednesdays and Fridays is 9 am-noon and 3-6 pm.

Work on projects of your own choosing in BARN’s spectacularly equipped Woodworking & Small Boatbuilding Studio.

Open Studio time is a collaborative, informal-learning situation where woodworkers of various skill levels share tips and offer a hand when needed. A trained safety monitor is always on duty.

Details:

• Users of the Woodworking and Small Boatbuilding Studio must take our free one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop class.
• To be eligible to work during our Open Studio hours, you must also be checked out on specific power tools before you can use them. Woodshop Tool Safety Checkout 1 and 2 classes cover the major tools and must be taken before you use these tools. Check the Woodworking and Small Boatbuilding Studio calendar for dates when these classes are offered.
• BARN supplies tools and basic shop supplies, such as sandpaper. Participants are expected to bring their own wood, hardware, etc.
• Free for Members.
  $20 Drop in fee for Non-Members. Please bring cash or check made out to BARN. No need to register!
  
• Wear eye protection with side shields at all times in the main shop, and in the bench room when using the sharpening equipment. Avoid loose clothing and wear closed-toe shoes. Noisy equipment may warrant wearing hearing protection. 

The Woodworking and Small Boatbuilding Studio endeavors to offer classes at times that do not conflict with Open Studio time.  However, currently registered students are encouraged to take advantage of Open Studio hours to stay on track and/or complete projects begun in class.
