WOW! How time seems to be flying by! I thought the month of April snuck up on me quickly; but, holy smokes, we are a week away from June!!! The Kenny Chesney song, "Don't Blink", comes to mind...

So, what's happening at The Barn Studio?? Well, it's a busy Spring, Summer and Fall ahead, for us at the studio. Between our "traveling roadshow" of blacksmithing and weaving, we also have a son getting married, near the end of the Summer! Unfortunately, workshops are set few and far between this year, to accommodate for the aforementioned.

Here's what IS happening:
