Whether you are doing a live Zoom class that you want to supplement with pre-recorded video or posting a video to the web, this class will teach you how to create engaging instructional video content. This class is targeted towards beginners with little or no video experience. Minimal additional gear and software will be required. Your iPhone camera will serve as the recording device and iMovie will be used to stitch clips together.
Unlike making a vacation or event video, instructional videos generally involve additional content types, such screen shots, screen recording, graphics, voice overs and video overlays. You will learn how to capture and incorporate all these different types of media into your finished piece.
The last session will introduce more advanced gear and software for those who want to take their videos to the next level.
This is a learn-by-doing class. Assignments will encourage you to put the lecture content into practice by developing a full featured, short instructional video piece.

**This workshop will be live streamed via Zoom.**
Share your woodworking successes and challenges and learn what others in the BARN woodworker community are doing in a new series of online meetings.
Scheduled on the second and fourth Tuesday evenings of the month, these sessions will usually begin with a small bit of prepared content, such as pictures of projects that members want to show, or interviews with local pro woodworkers, or tours of home shops — whatever content members of the group suggest. After the prepared content, we’ll have a chance to touch base on areas of interest with each other. You can ask technical questions, share lessons you've learned, suggest classes you'd like to take.
If you have pictures to share or a topic to suggest, please email woodclasses@bainbridgebarn.org.
Given we are still maintaining physical distancing, why not use this time to go out and flex our shooting muscles? Each virtual walk will have a title prompt to focus your shooting. We will all get together via Zoom to get guidance, share our work and get feedback.
The prompt is: “Fall is Coming”
There will be two sessions.
Now - go out and start shooting!
Perhaps after a few photo walks we can have BARN to showcase our work in an exhibit on our Media Arts landing page.
**This is the Online version of Open Studio**
Check out what's going on, talk shop and hang out via Zoom.
A trained monitor is present. Open Studio is, however, not like a class where instruction can be given.
Important Details:
Registration is mandatory. Free to all but please register. You will be sent an email to the email account you used to register with that has a link to join this Zoom online open studio.

This class is intended for those with a basic working knowledge of Fusion 360. It is the first in a series of topics we plan to offer that dive a bit deeper than the basics. Parametric Modeling is a powerful paradigm that allows you to modify your model without edits. Examples include changing the length, width, height, thickness, and diameter of model elements or the entire model.
Instructor, Mike Schrempp will show you where to find parameters, how to write equations using them, how to get rid of ones you no longer want, assigning parameters within sketches, functions, and he’ll answer that nagging question: "why is my name/equation still red?" Students will use their new knowledge to make Allen wrench handles. If you like your handle, you may want to visit one of our Virtual Open Studios and ask how you might 3D-print one.
MIke Schrempp is enjoying retirement after spending 39 years in the design and development of computers. He’s done product development, mechanical part design, engineering management, and architected servers used in big data centers at Amazon and Microsoft. Now he enjoys making things -- from wood, plastic, metal, food, and Python code -- and showing others some of the tricks he’s learned along the way.

This class is an easy and simple approach to Tuscan cooking focusing on uncomplicated and good food that will impress your family and friends. Working online from his kitchen, Bob Ross will be creating four classic Tuscan dishes with you. The recipes will be sent several days in advance and with procedures to be ready to cook when the session begins. Basic kitchen knowledge is suggested. Come ready to cook, learn, taste and enjoy. This is a live, hands-on cooking class held in your kitchen via Zoom and meant to be as interactive as it would be in the BARN Kitchen.
Participants are encouraged to bring friends or family in at the end to eat what has been prepared and discuss the class. The recipes used are generally geared to serve four individuals.
We will be employing the ‘mise en place’ approach in this class which is a French culinary phrase basically means everything in its place and ready to go when we begin the class. It will be important to have read and be familiar with the recipes before class and have ingredients measured out ahead and all necessary cooking utensils at hand and easily accessible. This will allow all of us to cook and enjoy at relatively the same pace.
The menu is as follows:
A Late Summer Tuscan Dinner
Classic Handmade Pesto This will be served with the gnudi
Ricotta and Spinach Gnudi Gnudi is a first cousin to gnocchi but considered much more traditional to Tuscany
Sweet Peas with Onions and Pancetta Option here is for participants to drop the pancetta if wanting to be a vegetarian meal . . . still good!
Panna Cotta with Blackberry Sauce

Bob Ross is a landscape architect, garden designer and inspired home cook who has traveled to and worked in many places, absorbing local cultures, history and terroir. A Loeb Fellow at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, he spent a few years in North Africa working on a project that afforded opportunities to travel and explore Europe, eventually leading to a passionate connection with central Italy, its people, food, and gardens. He shares a unique perspective that blends simple Tuscan cooking, renaissance gardens, and ornamental terracotta.

BARN's Kitchen is pleased to welcome The Shibaguyz to share their creative spirit and love of food to create a deliciously simple loaf of bread, something that has become something, seemingly, unattainable to the everyday person.
The Shibaguyz are here to tell you that you do not need a masters degree in chemistry to make great bread. Nor do you need to buy mixes from those professional food accounts on social media to create YUMMY loaves of Instagram-worthy bread.
In the spirit of carrying on that family tradition, the recipe we're about to share with you is ridiculously simple since it takes all the work out of making the bread. Namely the kneading. This recipe will produce a delicious loaf of bread with a crunchy crust with no kneading at all!
We know there are dozens of no-knead recipes out there. This particular recipe is a version that we have worked on refining over the past 6 years and we can tell you, it works. Even if you are terrified at the idea of making bread, give this recipe a chance.
This is a live, virtual hands-on cooking class from the comfort of your own kitchen. The Shibaguys will make cooking fun, interactive, as well as hands on. Follow along, ask questions, interact with others just like you would if you were in the BARN Kitchen.

Missing the comradery of the Metal Fabrication’s open studios, or have a fabrication challenge? Until Kitsap County gets approved for Phase 3, please join us via Zoom in BARN’s Metal-Fab Studio for its first Online Open Studio.
The plan is to join a Zoom meeting every other Wednesday at 6:30 for a couple of hours to talk about and work with metal fabrication projects. Do you want to observe how to bend something in sheet metal? Can do. Want to observe how to weld up some chunks of aluminum or steel? No problem.

Monitors will be onsite at BARN with cameras and answers. Hope to see you then!
Create a unique book form – a small, intriguing book, nestled in an old box. As the accordion “book” is lifted out, it tells a story in pictures and words. The pictures are ones you have taken or found; the words are from your imagination or just-perfect quotes. The results may be a series of creative dreamscapes; or perhaps a glimpse of a story ‘til now untold; or even a memory of a special event. It all works together to become a special and irresistible ‘book’ that will be read, re-read, and treasured.
In the first of two short, 1½ hr. online sessions, you’ll be guided in creating and presenting your book’s theme, idea sequencing, and story-telling, as well as preparing your repurposed box and an instructional video on making the accordion book to fit. You will have access to the video from home during the week between classes. In addition, there will be ample, emailed handouts to help you through the at-home work of getting your own story and pictures organized and into the book, and then personalizing the box.
The second session will address any questions; offer workable solutions; provide examples for finishing touches to the box; talk about a colophon; and, at last-but not least, we’ll take time to show and share each creative Book-in-a-Box made in the class.
In gratitude to our members for their continued support during the closures, BARN is offering all classes for free to BARN members through December 2020. Members are still responsible for paying materials and mailing fees, where applicable. If a class is full, please add your name to the wait list in case a space opens up or we are able to offer another class. Check our calendar frequently as more classes are being added each week!

This month's Bake Along: Buckwheat Banana Bread
Do you like to bake but are gluten free? Baking can be one of the more challenging aspects of following a gluten-free diet. This is a perfect opportunity to get together each month and learn to make a seasonal gluten free dessert in the comfort of your gluten free kitchen. Dharma Cafe chef/owner Katalin Gyorgy will be sharing and guiding you through some of her favorite recipes while you work alongside, via zoom.
A shopping list will be shared in advance with participants prior to class. Please watch for these emails.
Each month on the second Friday of the month, we will feature a new gluten free recipe. This is a live, hands-on cooking class held in your kitchen via Zoom and meant to be as interactive as it would be in the BARN Kitchen.
Katalin Gyorgy has lived on Bainbridge Island for 6 years now and has been keeping her momentum in the art of healing with yoga, body work and creating nourishing, healthy plant based meals. At an early age she learned the art of cooking from her Hungarian grandmother, giving her a deeply rooted Eastern European foundation. This has evolved into creating from her heart and utilizing an intuitive approach. Her interest in food grew as her need for life with a whole health approach.
In February of this year she opened Dharma Cafe located inside Dayaalu Center. Her repertoire is broad and diverse. Katalin is looking forward to sharing skills with you and for you to grow your cooking interests and offerings as she has done. Visit livingyourdharma.com to learn more about the cafe and Kat’s offerings.
Years ago, our great-grandparents made beautiful quilts using a technique known as English Paper Piecing. Prior to the mass production of the sewing machine and the emergence of long arm quilting machines, quilts were made by using paper templates and scraps of fabric. First, individual pieces were made, then those pieces were assembled into larger quilt blocks. Finally, the individual blocks were sewn together by hand to create the final quilt. Lucky for us, traditional sewists and quilters have kept this elegantly simply and portable quilting technique alive so we can share it with you.
For this workshop, our quilt blocks are inspired by the work from the hands of our grandmothers. Mary’s Garden block is based on a wall hanging Shannon’s grandmother, Mary, made for them before they left for college. That same wall hanging has traveled with them for all of these years and has hung on the walls of every bedroom in every apartment and house since and currently hangs in the Shibaguyz’ home in Seattle. Virginia’s Star block is based on a quilt block that was part of a collection of blocks found under a mattress after his grandmother passed away. Initially held by Jason’s aunt, some of the blocks were passed to his mother and, finally, to Jason. The block is now framed and hangs on the wall of the Shibaguyz’ home in Seattle.
Session One:We’ll start off with Mary’s Garden block and cover two types
of basting and two ways to sew the blocks together. Order of operation is key here and we’ll give you the skills you’ll need to complete Mary’s Garden block and start on Virginia’s Star.
Session Two:You should have at least one of your blocks finished by the start of class. For day 2, we will teach you two ways to appliqué the blocks onto a fabric backing for display. We’ll also show you examples of how to expand your blocks into larger arrangements to make wall hangings or quilts.
Supplies students need to have on hand:
Kits provided by the instructor will include:
Paper piece templates for both quilt blocks, fabric for both quilt blocks, sewing needle, Aurifil 50 wt thread, Wonder Clips, glue stick
Kits will be mailed to participants 10 days before the class. To ensure you receive your kit in time, registration for this class will close on Monday, Sept. 28th.
Meet the instructors:

Get introduced to 3D printing in this one and a half hour session. You'll get to see BARN's printers and gain an understanding of how they work and what they can make. You will see a computer file get readied for printing in a process called "slicing." You'll see the different printers we have and learn about filament, the material 3D printers use to make prints. We'll start a print and you'll see the printer print. 3D printing has many uses, ranging from practical to fun, such as replacement parts, mold-making, medical models used in surgery, prototypes and more. Bring your curiosity and questions. You can continue to use the 3D printers at Open Studio where a studio monitor or other member can help you.
Agents report that they’re flooded with more queries and proposals than ever before, even as publishers cut back the number of books they produce each year. How can you break through the noise and get your project noticed? This workshop with Beth Jusino will help you step back and see your fiction or nonfiction work through fresh eyes and a business-based perspective. We’ll identify the things that make your work unique, marketable, and irresistible to publishing gatekeepers, and then with lots of examples and time for practice and personal feedback, we’ll work on verbal “elevator pitches,” one-paragraph hooks (great for query letters), and the dreaded synopsis. (This is also a valuable class for self-publishing writers who want to pitch their books so that readers pay attention.)
