About

Open studio in BARN’s fully equipped Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio provides members and guests a collaborative environment to pursue self-directed work, whether it’s to finish projects from classes or to work on independent projects. BARN provides tools and basic shop supplies. 

A trained safety monitor is always on duty. However, open studio does not include instruction like a class.

Details

  • Free for members. Guests pay $20.
  • Registration is required for all members and guests.
  • There are five spots available for general studio use and three spots for using the lapidary equipment. You can specify which type when you register. 

 

Details

Please bring your own towels for all studio activities. 

Prerequisites

A Skills Card is required for all Open Studio participants. A Skills Card identifies the tools and equipment that you have been cleared to work on. You can acquire a Skills Card by attending one of these BARN classes: Introduction to Jewelry Skills, Introduction to the Jeweler's Torch, Introduction to Lapidary, Introduction to Enameling and others. Jewelers with previous experience can request a skills assessment by emailing jewelry.programming@bainbridgebarn.org
