    Our facilitators:      

    Rebecca Graham was our club facilitator last year. She is a full-time senior engineer working in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.  She began coding in college where she earned a BS in Computer Science and a BA in History from the University of Mary Washington. She lives on the island with her husband, 6-year old son, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. She loves glitter, cartoons, yoga, rock climbing, and creating things with technology. 

    Rebecca will be joined by Alex McKeon, a BARN member who has always found time in her life for creating. She has had a wide variety of professional experiences including work as an expedition leader, yoga instructor, personal chef, snowboard instructor, and nanny. She lives on the island with her husband and toddler and believes that working with young women is one of the most fulfilling uses of her time.

    It's Fall, so our woods are full of wild mushrooms, hundreds of species. A few of them are choice edibles -- chanterelles, porcinis, cauliflowers, lobsters. But how do you find them, and how do you know for sure what you're collecting?

    This class is an introduction to finding, identifying and safely consuming local wild mushrooms. It will start with a Wednesday evening discussion, "How To Look at A Mushroom," and continue with a Saturday foray in promising habitat less than two hours away. We are sure to find mushrooms, but there is no guarantee they will be edibles.

    Details:

    • Open to ages 14+.
    • The materials fee covers a one-year membership in the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, so you will be notified about club forays so you can  continue learning about the amazing diversity of local mushrooms.
    • The first session will be held in the small classroom at BARN.
    • Instructions for getting to the foray site will be given at the first meeting, and participants can arrange carpools then. Please do not bring dogs on the foray.
    • If the weather is unsuitable on the day scheduled for the foray, it will be held on  Saturday, Nov. 2, instead.
    Instructor: David Ansley is a member of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society who often leads group forays in western Washington forests. He also  manages the KitsapMushrooms.org website, which includes a regional mushroom photo gallery and a recipe collection.

  • Build Your Own Electro-Mechanical FerryClock

    • 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
    • ETA Studio, Class Code: EL102919MC

    Come build your own state-of-the-art electromechanical ferry tracking apparatus: FerryClock; a self-setting analog wall clock with additional dials and lights to indicate the real-time position, heading, and docking status of the two Bainbridge-Seattle ferryboats. It should prove ferry useful in your own home. Additional routes coming soon…

    From a kit, we will assemble, wire and solder the gadgets. At home, you will ‘launch’ your FerryClock by connecting it to your wireless network (internet). The kit includes everything you’ll need: laser-cut parts, motors, lights, wires, hardware, microcontroller, USB cable, ‘atomic’ clock mechanism, hands, battery, and literature.

    How It Works:

    A proprietary algorithm (conceived by a member of the BIHS robotics team) running in the ‘cloud’ continually compares the up-to-the-minute (every 15s) latitude/longitude (GPS) location of a real ferryboat (via the WSF API) against a reference path to generate a precise sailing progress value. A small, Arduino-compatible microcontroller within FerryClock connects to the FERRY TEMPO server over WiFi to receive fresh data, controlling the lights and motors accordingly.

    Details: 

    • Requires a wireless internet connection to operate.
    • No previous soldering skills required.
    • Materials Fee of $95 is included in the price of class.
    • Skill Level: Universal
    • Ages 14+ Welcome

    Update: We will be adding more sessions of this class so be sure to add yourself to the waitlist and we will let you know when it is scheduled.

  • Carving Wooden Spoons

    • Tuesday, October 29, 2019

    Wooden spoons can be completely utilitarian — or real works of art. In this class, you will learn to make the more challenging, artful kind. You'll be well prepared if you later want to make purely utilitarian spoons on your own.

    Spoon carving involves grain changes, curves and hollowing — all techniques that are useful in many kinds of carving projects. The instructor will explain a variety of tools you might want to use and how to use them safely. You will also learn how to hold or secure the wood safely and the steps involved in carving spoons efficiently. You will work from prepared basswood blanks.

    Details:

    • Open to anyone at least 8 years old, although those 12 and younger must have an adult with them. Beginners are welcome, although the projects are also suitable for more experienced carvers.
    • You will develop your carving skills faster if you practice between sessions. Take our free, one-hour Orientation to the Woodshop class first if you want to carve during Open Studio time. Use of the shop during these times is always free for members. Non-members can also use the shop without an additional charge for the duration of this class.

    Instructor: As a third-generation woodworker, Jeff Iller learned about woodworking tools and knives early on. By high school, he was winning ribbons with his wood carvings at his hometown fair. Around 1996 Jeff found room for a shop and he has carved ever since. He’ll carve most anything, but prefers to innovate with the working tools to carve multiple parts inside one piece of wood and to make physically detailed and accurate carvings of women's faces. Carvings on the entry sign to the BARN Woodworking Studio shows the quality of his work.

    Iller says he was taught early on that he could make anything from wood. He is still trying to prove that statement wrong.

  • Fiber Arts: Quilting with Barbara Ramsey -- Double Cross Blocks

    • Saturday, December 07, 2019
    • Sunday, December 15, 2019
    • 3 sessions
    • BARN Fiber Studio, Class Code FI120719BR

    Register
    This complicated looking block is actually incredibly simple to make!  Learn how to sew this block in five easy steps. No experience with curves required, but come prepared to work improvisationally, without templates or pins.

    The class consists of three half-day sessions.

    • In the first session, Saturday, December 7th, you’ll learn how to make basic wonky log cabin blocks as well as how to insert a central “X” shape into these blocks. Then you’ll go home and make more blocks.

    • The second session will be a week later, Saturday, December 14th, and we will work on color, palette, and how to refine your improv techniques.

    • The third session will be the following day, Sunday, December 15th, when you’ll have a free-form work session to put all these new found skills into practice, with Barbara available to answer questions and provide guidance.

    What Students Need to Bring to Class
    (Instructions from Barbara Ramsey)    : 

    1. Fabric: You'll need to bring an assortment of fabrics in a wide range of values (light to dark) and in a wide range of colors. Bring at least 12 different fabrics: 6 larger pieces (larger = at least 12” x 12”) and 6 smaller pieces (whatever scraps you have lying around). Bring mostly tightly woven cotton quilting fabrics since it’s easier to sew curves when your fabrics are all a consistent weight. Avoid bringing those light-weight Kaffe Fassett cotton gauze fabrics; they tend to pucker when combined with other fabrics in curvilinear seams. 

       When I say “bring at least 12 different fabrics”, I strongly emphasize AT LEAST, since you should bring additional fabrics if you can. I frequently hear students say, "I wish I'd brought more fabric!". You can bring odd-size scraps of various dimensions, but ideally include plenty of pieces that are at least fat quarters (18" x 22") or larger.

      Note: Some people like to bring their "ugly" fabric to experiment with (easy to chop it up and mess around with fabric you're not very attached to) while other people prefer to use really great fabric that motivates them to make something gorgeous as soon as possible. Personally, I'm in the "ugly" camp since it allows me to explore new techniques more freely, but those of you who want to bring your most sumptuous fabrics, go right ahead. Either way is fine with me, or do both. 
    2.  (thread, scissors, pins, etc.).  If you want to use a BARN Brothers Sewing Machine, you will need to have taken a Brothers Sewing Machine Orientation class prior to this workshop.  See the BARN Fiber Arts Calendar to identify upcoming Brother Sewing Machine Orientation classes.
    3. Cutting equipment (rotary cutter, self-healing mat, cutting rulers of various sizes).  Please note that the BARN Fiber Arts Studio has these materials if you do not want to bring your own. 
    4. Pencil and paper for taking notes
    5. A free and experimental attitude!


    Details:

    • Skill Level: Advanced beginners and intermediate quilters. No previous experience with curves necessary, but students must have at least basic quilting experience.
    • Ages 16+ Welcome.


    Instructor Bio: Barbara Ramsey is a fabric artist who sews original abstract art works using traditional quilting techniques. Employing her own designs, she pieces  together fabric shapes with a sewing machine and by hand. Her main materials are commercially printed fabric as well as fabric she has dyed and manipulated herself.

    Her work expresses her fascination with light, color, texture, materials, and process. She love the ritual of taking fabric of one color and changing it into another color with dye or bleach. She is completely absorbed by the simple acts of washing, rinsing, drying, sewing, and ironing as she pull scores of separate colors together into a single piece. Like many traditional quilters, She is devoted to precise construction. She differ from many traditional quilters in that she design and cut fabric in an effort to distort geometry. She works to create irregularity, using various shapes to impel the viewer’s eye to roam over the entire surface of the quilt, seeking the harmonies in the middle of contrast. She create her work in order to disappear into its making.

    Barbara loves to teach quilting and helping other quilt artists as they move from traditional designs to more free-form creations. She feel energized as she watches her students learn to improvise with shape and line, create more surprising color combinations, and gain the confidence required to do original work.

Her tapestries are pictorial, and are described as organic and sensual.  She emphasizes design elements in her teaching, particularly the key role color and color blending plays.
