December 2024 Newsletter

The MakerBarn has expanded! We rented suite 102B across the parking lot. It’s now known as The Learning Center. We have 10 computers set up on the same tables like they were in the old space. On one wall are two smart TVs and a large white board placed for the instructors to use. Additionally, we have some adjustable height tables that can be used for a variety of classes, such as electronics, crafts, or other purposes. This puts the MakerBarn square footage at around 8,000!

November 2024 Newsletter

Expanding the Barn! Good news this month! We recently signed a 1-year lease on suite 102B across the parking lot from our current space. It’s a bigger space in which to hold classes utilizing the Learning Center computers. The current Learning Center will become the Ceramics Room. It will house the wheels, the roller, shelving and other accessories. Under the direction of Lisa Lane, the ceramics program has really sparked an interest among members. This new space will be a welcome home for all things ceramics.

October 2024 Newsletter

MakerBarn keeps growing! September saw the arrival of a large 19” Bandsaw in the Shop - you will find a description and some background on this new machine elsewhere in the newsletter. A big thank-you to George Carlson and several members who wrestled the big machine off a truck and into the shop & then hooked it up and made it operational - a big job! Our ceramics operation has grown so much in the past year. Area manager Lisa Lane and a team of members are now operating the kiln regularly and they pull amazing objects of art out of it every week.
