About

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:

  • BARN is practicing safety measures for the health and well-being of all participants, in accordance with state and CDC guidelines. Participation is limited. You must sign up in advance using this reservation calendar.
  • Everyone in the studio is required to wear masks, wash or sanitize hands frequently, maintain a distance of 6 feet between individuals, and stay home if they are sick. Overall BARN safety policies are here. Studio-specific safety policies are here.
  • To be eligible to work during our Open Studio hours, you must take our free one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop class.
