Do you have a well-loved chair that's too wobbly to use safely or another piece of furniture that has a broken part or a missing piece of veneer? Or do you want to touch up or even completely renew the finish on a fine piece? In this online but still hands-on class, you will learn how to assess a piece of furniture and how to get it back into shape.

At the first session, the instructor will demonstrate how to take apart a chair and explain how the process applies to other kinds of furniture. Disassembly is frequently the first step in repairing a piece. The second session will focus on making repairs and putting the pieces back together, with various strategies for clamping the pieces, depending on the tools you have available. At the third session, the clamps will come off and the instructor will discuss how to clean up any excess glue and what the options are for touching up or refinishing.

At each session, you will be able to share pictures of your project and get advice about how to proceed. If you don’t have a piece of furniture in need of repair but would like to learn repair techniques, you are still welcome in this class. But the more actual projects, the more informative the class will be for everyone. The instructor will discuss the repair issues of each piece, so you will learn about a wider array of techniques than just what is needed for your own project.

You will need to supply all tools and materials needed for your project. The instructor will give advice about this, as needed.

Burl wood and curly-grain wood with flame or quilt patterns are gorgeous as-is. But with flame, acrylics and gilding paste you can give these woods a completely different look that mimics stone or metal or just makes people stare in wonder. This two-session online class will show you how to apply these techniques to woodworking projects such as boxes, cabinet door panels, turned wood projects or sculptures.

The instructor is a woodturner who often uses these techniques on his projects. He made the puzzle-type figure in the picture from big-leaf maple burl and the wall sculpture from quilted big-leaf maple and red acrylic.

At the first session, the instructor will show a wide range of examples and demonstrate how to use flame to turn figure in wood into texture, how to enhance figure by using acrylic paint that has different consistencies, and how to use gilding paste. During the week between the first and second sessions, you will be able to work with a kit of supplies to apply the techniques and experiment with your own variations. At the second session, you and the other students will share your work and have an opportunity for followup questions. After the class, you should have paint and gilding wax left to adapt the processes to a project of your own.

The materials kit consists of at least 20 small samples (approximately 1/4" x 3" x 3" or larger) of highly figured wood, airbrush-consistency black paint; thick acrylic paint in black, off-white and neutral; a set of standard-consistency acrylic paints in 12 colors; gilding paste; brushes; the scrub brush that the instructor recommends for some techniques; and sandpaper.

You will need to supply a propane torch or the type of butane burner used for making creme brulee. If you don't already have one, local shops probably do,  or you can order online. Click this link to see a suitable propane torch. Click this link to see a suitable butane burner. If you order the burner, get an extra butane canister.

You will also need to supply stir sticks (popsickle sticks are good), a paper plate for a palette, a few paper towels and an old toothbrush if you have one. Latex gloves are good for keeping your hands clean, but not essential as acrylic paint washes off easily.

Details:

• Please note that registration closes on Wednesday, January 6th, to allow time to assemble and/or mail kits.
  If you opt to have your kit mailed, please verify your mailing address when you register. You will receive an email and tracking number when package has been shipped. If you are picking up at BARN, we will email you when the kits are ready with information on when and where to pick up your kit.

Instructor bio:

Art Liestman, who lives in Vancouver, B.C., is well-known as a wood turner and woodturning instructor. He has presented to woodturners' clubs throughout the United States and Canada, including several repeat trips to the Olympic Peninsula Woodturners. He has been teaching online since the pandemic closures last spring.

He specializes in what he calls the lost wood process, in which he turns turning spindle blanks made of three layers. He then cuts the pieces, separates the layers and glues the outside layers back together to create turned objects that aren't round in cross-section. It was a short journey from that sleight-of-hand to incorporating cold-bending wood in his pieces.

Liestman's work can be seen on his website, artliestman.com.

This 90 minute session will weave information, demonstrations and Q&A time to explore where color comes from, extracting color for dyeing, and where color is going in our changing world. Participants will be sent a Field Guide, which Madelaine has created, to record their own natural color journey. 

Madelaine has done extensive research into environment and color and the effects of climate change on color. She has also worked extensively in extracting natural colors from plants and synthesizing inorganic pigments. Learn more about Madelaine here: http://www.madelainecorbin.com 

Madelaine has just completed writing a book about her work, The Stuff of Everyday Magic. It is an adventure through the terrain of her research, practice, and notes supporting over two years of portfolio pieces. This non-linear path traverses an incomplete history of blue to the imminent loss of this color in our greening seas and graying skies in order to offer the idea that the climate crisis is also a crisis of color. Click on the title below to order a copy: The Stuff of Everyday Magic.

We will review a series of different cuts and techniques including squaring off vegetables, fine julienne, chiffonade, and small dice brunoise cuts.

Come join us for a bowl of our favorite chili. Chili is served at least once a month here in Chez Shibaguyz. We eat it in hot weather because we can get good fresh peppers. We eat it in cold weather to warm the heart and soul. We’ll have it for lunch or dinner and occasionally leftovers will find their way to a breakfast burrito or omelette.

Spend the evening with us and get not only the recipe and the history behind it… how it came to be, where it evolved from, and why we use each ingredient, but also get our homemade chili spice mix recipe to use for yourself!

Notes: 

1. We like chili with just a touch of spice, not so hot that you can’t tell the flavors for the fire. You can easily adjust the heat to your level of preference.  
2. This recipe does indeed include a few unusual ingredients.  These are for flavor layering. You will not taste each individual flavor, but you will taste an overall masterpiece. Think of the individual spices as the viola and cello in a symphony. You may never hear them alone, but you will most certainly notice it if they are missing.

This is a live, virtual hands-on cooking class from the comfort of your own kitchen. The Shibaguyz 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. 

Important Details:

• Registration will close Tuesday, January 19.
• A shopping and equipment list will be in your registration confirmation email.
• This class will be taught via the Zoom video conferencing program from the comfort of your own home. For a great video on how to use Zoom, watch this tutorial.

If you are looking for a new way to create interesting fabric with your yarn, this class will certainly interest you. While making a lovely scarf, you will learn about weaving terminology, setting up the loom, and how to insert weft yarn to make an interesting cloth. Weaving is a great way to use your yarns in a new way that is relaxing, enjoyable, fun and fast.

The class is divided into two sessions: 10 am - 12 pm, (2 hour break), 2 pm - 4 pm

Homework: Prepare the space where you will be working. You will need a clear area that is 72” - 80” long. This space does not have to be on a tabletop, you can stretch over an open space, but need to attach the loom and clamps to a solid surface at either end. If it is possible for your area to be counter height, your back will thank you!  All your yarn and supplies should be close at hand

Supplies to have at home: Rigid heddle loom with at least 8“ weaving width, clamps, warping peg, 7.5 or 8 dent reed, sley/threading hook,  shuttle, scissors, tapestry needle, tube from inside a paper towel roll, 2 brown paper grocery bags, measuring tape, post it notes, 300 yards smooth, strong, non-hairy, and at least 2 ply yarn that is preferably variegated colors.  Yarn should be wound into balls before class.

A limited number of looms are available for members to borrow for this class, but must be picked up in person. For more information, contact fiber.programming@bainbridgebarn.org
