Does your child want to learn how to play with wood? Does your child like to make cool stuff but you don’t have woodworking experience and/or tools?  Parent & Child Guided Open Shop Time is for both of you.

No experience necessary. We will be on hand to help as needed.

Start a project, finish a project, or just play with wood and see what happens.  We will have some extra wood available or bring in your own.

Details:

• Short-sleeve or tight-cuff tops and close-toe and comfortable shoes are required. No jewelry other than "button-type" earrings for women is allowed, so no rings, bracelets, necklaces. Long hair must be tied back.
  
• Your child must be 8 or older.
  
  

Instructor: Matt Jabloner, a member of the BARN woodworkers’ steering committee, is a professional engineer by trade. He has been a woodworker from before he can remember. He likes to incorporate end grain and rivets as design elements in his work. He has an unhealthy affection for vintage (but functional) hand tools.

Amaze your friends with your command of GLASS!!  Learn about the magic of stained glass using the copper foil technique to create pieces that sparkle in the sun.   You will assemble a 5-piece heart as well as another project you choose from several available patterns.  Your choice of colored and textured glass will make for a very personal project.

Prior to tackling your project, you will learn to hand cut clear glass in straight lines, copper tape and then solder the shapes together into a 10-square design.

By Day 2 you will be cutting curves and using a glass grinder to finish the shapes of your heart project for a better fit.

By the end of the 4^th class you will have a good understanding of the copper foil technique for stained glass; how to cut glass in straight and curved lines with carbide glass cutters, how to use a diamond glass grinder, copper foil techniques to assemble glass pieces, tacking and soldering the fit pieces into a beautiful piece.  You will also learn patina techniques to provide contrast and set off the colors of the glass.  A border will be added to your last piece to further enhance the look and provide strength for hanging.

Students that may have had previous glass cutting and stained-glass experience may choose a more complicated pattern with the instructor’s approval.  The instructor’s focus is on your completion of a nice-looking project rather than the complexity of a project. 

The material fee covers all materials and equipment required for your project.  BARN ensures safe practices and a safe environment for the students; special considerations should be discussed beforehand.

While working with soldering irons at high temperature, we request you wear cotton or other natural fiber clothing.

Instructor: Mo Ellis, assisted by Doug Salot.

Mo has played guitar off and on for a loooong time and is still trying to figure it out. He built his first instrument, a mountain dulcimer, about 40 years ago, then went on to make a hammered dulcimer and lots of experimental stringed instruments. Some were playable. All were fun to build.

Doug started playing the guitar about 10 years ago and occasionally tries to distract himself by building guitars and ukuleles. He studied instrument building with local luthier Alan Simcoe.

Let’s dive into the world of cake baking and decorating!  We will explore how to bake, torte, fill, ice, stack and decorate a two tiered cake and best of all you will walk home with your very own masterpiece. 

Day one: it’s flower decorating time. We will learn how to make gum paste and figure out how to make a giant gum paste hydrangea.  

Day two: it’s all about the cake. We will bake a delicious moist chocolate cake from scratch, wrap and chill it for the next day. Our gum paste will be cured by then and we will make green leaves (cut from our self made stencils), many sugar daffodils and more loose hydrangea petals out of gum paste. To give these blooms life we will color each petal individually. These will be set aside to dry. 

Day three:  it’s buttercream day! You will learn how to make swiss meringue buttercream, then we will torte, fill, and ice our chocolate cakes.  You’ll discover an easy trick on how to get straight and level cake sides. Be prepared to get messy! 

Day four: let’s ruffle! You will learn how to put pipe ruffles on your iced cake. You can ruffle horizontally, vertically, diagonally or make swirls - whatever you prefer.  And now, it’s time to stack the cakes! After successfully wiggling them into place we will arrange all our sugar flowers to give it the last bit of hurrah! You will take home your masterpiece to share with family or friends.

Please bring a container on the last day of class to take your cake home in.

* This class has prerequisites. Please see below.

Learn boatbuilding skills as you help build a classic Port Madison Pram, a sleek sailboat designed in the 1950s by Bill Garden  specifically for the Port Madison Yacht Club.

Befitting that history, the boat you build will eventually go to the club's dock on Port Madison Bay, where you and others can sail it provided you join the club, which has especially low membership rates for junior members (ages 10-21). A group of club members is paying for the materials as a way to increase sailing opportunities for the public.

The boat is made of marine plywood and was designed for use in classes and races. According to a club history, the criteria were clear: "It had to be small enough for women and children to rig and handle, stable enough for novices – young and old, easy to maintain, reasonably priced, and to meet the final test, it had to be an unbeatable performer."

Building a sailboat takes time. This session will focus on two key steps:

• Preparing and installing the rub rails. This involves milling white oak to length and shape using a table saw, router and miter saw, then installing it using epoxy and countersunk screws. 
  
• Building and installing the rudder, tiller and center board. This involves following plans carefully to mill marine plywood for the rudder and center board, and white oak for the tiller, then installing the rudder, attaching the tiller, and installing the centerboard. Tools used: table saw, band saw, jointer, planer, power drill.
  

You may also wish to sign up for Session 2, which involves building the mast and boom.

Final finishing, including painting and completing the sailing rig, will take place after the boat leaves BARN. Participants will be invited to a launch party once the work is done.

Learn boatbuilding skills as you help build a classic Port Madison Pram, a sleek sailboat designed in the 1950s by Bill Garden  specifically for the Port Madison Yacht Club.

Befitting that history, the boat you build will eventually go to the club's dock on Port Madison Bay, where you and others can sail it provided you join the club, which has especially low membership rates for junior members (ages 10-21). A group of club members is paying for the materials as a way to increase sailing opportunities for the public.

The boat is made of marine plywood and was designed for use in classes and races. According to a club history, the criteria were clear: "It had to be small enough for women and children to rig and handle, stable enough for novices – young and old, easy to maintain, reasonably priced, and to meet the final test, it had to be an unbeatable performer."

Building a sailboat takes time. This session will focus on building the mast and boom. This involves milling rough spruce lumber and gluing up pieces with epoxy, as well as shaping the mast and spar using a band saw, power plane and hand plane. This class will also use the table saw, jointer and sanding tools.

You may also wish to sign up for Session 1, which involves building and installing the rub rails, rudder, tiller and centerboard.

Final finishing, including painting and completing the sailing rig, will take place after the boat leaves BARN. Participants will be invited to a launch party once the work is done.
