In March 2020, McNeel & Assoc. released the 6.0 version of their software Rhinoceros3D for Windows or Mac. This glitch free, 3D modeling software has been an industry standard for boat design, interior design, model making, furniture design, and jewelry design for 30 years.

This class, taught by a McNeel & Assoc. certified Rhino trainer, Gary Dawson, is a Level I Training for the Rhinoceros3D CAD application, suitable for beginning to intermediate users of Rhino 6. Students will learn to use the command pathways necessary to utilize this software in creating files for use with BARN’s 3D printers, laser cutter, lathes, and CnC routers.

Continuing additional classes in applying Rhino 3D files to run each different tool in the Jewelry, Metal Fabrication or Electronic & Technical arts studios will be required. Please watch studio calendars or subscribe to studio email alerts for upcoming classes by clicking here.

Details:

• This 7 session class will be presented through video live streaming.
• IMPORTANT: A link to join the class will be sent to you by the instructor before the start of each session. Please watch for these emails as the links will be unique to each session.

Students should have: 

• A good working knowledge of the Windows operating system.
• Ability to control a mouse or equivalent pointing device with precision.
• Students will receive an email from Rhino a few days after registering on how to download the Rhino software. All students will receive a full version for free. In the email you receive, please click the link to accept. That takes you to a Rhino3D sign in page where you create a user login. After you login to the group you see a link "view and download products available to BARN Rhino". From there you can download Rhino3D for Mac or Windows. After installing the software, when it starts up, you choose the option to sign in using the same username and password you created for the BARN Rhino group. You will then use that same login and password to start the program when the class begins.

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: “Something Old or Something New”

There will be two sessions.

• Session one will be the warm-up on Wednesday,  the instructor will review the prompt, show some example images, give suggestion on how to “work a subject” and answer questions. 
• Session two will be about review and followup.

Once you have a selection of solid work, edit your images down to your best 3 or 4 shots. Do the necessary post-processing to make them the best they can be and submit them via Dropbox for the live, Zoom Review Session. You can submit JPEGs, RAWs or better yet DNGs (with your edits included, along with the original RAW file). There will be a two hour review session to share and receive feedback from the instructor, as well as your peers.

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.

Details:

• Zoom will be used for two way video conferencing and course delivery. Dropbox will be used for course materials and program sharing (please download Zoom 5.0 and Dropbox ahead of time). You will get links to Zoom and shared Dropbox files prior to the class start date.
• For a great video on how to use Zoom, watch this tutorial.
• An email will be sent to you 1 day before the start date of each session with the Zoom video conferencing link to join the class. Please watch for these emails.

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.

Take your creative expression to new heights in this 3-day BARN online class. You will use the fabric piecing principles of Boro, a traditional Japanese mending and quilting technique, and associated Sashiko hand-sewing skills to elevate a stack of everyday scraps into rich one-of-a-kind textiles that will beautifully adorn your home and wardrobe. Join internationally renown instructors Shannon & Jason Mullett-Bowlsby and explore the exciting Japanese textile art of Boro! 

You will use the fabric piecing principles of Boro, a traditional Japanese mending and quilting technique, and associated Sashiko hand-sewing skills to elevate a stack of everyday scraps into rich one-of-a-kind textiles that will beautifully adorn your home and wardrobe.

“BORO is patched clothing with a lot of small cloths here and there, but nothing fancy like today’s quilted or patched works. It was made purely for the practical purposes for retaining warmth in the snowy areas and for making it last as long as possible where it was hard to obtain any sorts of cloth. When we review its practicality and design from today’s point of view, we are able to realize its incredible sophistication.” -Amuse Museum

Beginners encouraged – No experience necessary! 

Recycling, repairing, and reworking textiles using Boro and sashiko is perfect for the maker who is ready to try something new and exciting. Even if you have never done any hand sewing and never fused two pieces of fabric together with a needle and thread, this is the class for you! If you’ve wanted to try quilting but were intimidated by stodgy traditional techniques, you’re going to love this class. 

We’ll use Boro techniques to create a whole new panel of unique fabric from seemingly unusable remnants and odd pieces. By the end of the weekend, you will have a stunning new fabric that you can use by itself to enhance a favorite garment, accessory, or home décor item. Or use your new textile creation as the basis for a larger project like a quilt top, tote, or throw.

Want to make your reworked fabric even more special? Use an old shirt, pair of jeans, old ties, or favorite fabric remnants and we will use those items or scraps to work into your design! Any fabric will do. Woven fabrics, pieces of lace, crocheted or knitted motifs… bring it on!

Have a garment that could use a little dressing up? Or a grocery tote that is just plain bland? Do you have a pair of favorite jeans that have worn through, a jacket that still fits but you’re bored with? We will show you how to use your newly created fabrics and stunning stitching skills to take them from drab to FAB!

Join us and reignite your creativity – one stitch at a time.
