Registration due November 7 for Master Wood Artist Len Zeoli Workshop


Experienced wood turners may create gifts for Christmas during a one week open workshop. No minimum class size, maximum 5 students per day. The cut off for registrations is November 7, 2011.

Registrations may be made online using the form at the top of the calendar page at
http://www.artisanbarn.org/ or by calling 509-229-3414.

Master wood artist Len Zeoli will open his workshop in Uniontown the week of November 13 to 19 to those with experience who wish to make turned gifts for Christmas. The shop will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day at a cost of $20 per day.

This is ideal for the many past students of Len’s where they may take the skills they have learned and put them to use making gifts for friends and loved ones. Those who studied with Len have first dibs on space, but anyone with some turning experience is welcome.
Len Zeoli has been working with wood since he first made his own toys as a child.


Wood has always been for him a readily available material that possesses lots of personality and possibility.

Len will be available for assistance for the entire week to help participants make this Christmas a special time when they can be proud of their accomplishments.

All tools are provided. Wood for most projects will be available at a nominal charge or participants may bring their own supplies.

His professional career in woodworking began in 1978 when he set up his first shop where he taught himself cabinet and furniture making.

Not satisfied with just buying lumber, Len immersed himself in the idea of wood as material, falling and milling trees that would one day find their way into his finished work.

This is nowhere more true than in his bowl turning, where he has focused on turning green wood. Many years of learning by doing have given him a sense of how to begin at the beginning and to persist through process to a finished piece.

Len has a special place in his life for those who want to learn how to work with wood, and is desirous of sharing his hard earned knowledge to help his students move in satisfying and productive directions.

Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is a non-profit creativity center in Uniontown located in the big white barn behind the famous iron wheel fence off highway 195. The three level building is fully handicap accessible and has no daily admission fee. It is open Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Tim Grimm, Songwriter and Actor to Perform at Dahmen Barn October 30, 2011

Tim Grimm coming from Indiana to perform songs about rural life

On Sunday, October 30, Tim Grimm will be performing at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown. Tim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life—rich with descriptive details, and sung with warmth and intimacy—recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. and costs $10 at the door.

Tim Grimm is an award-winning songwriter and actor on stage and screen. In the late 1990s, Tim left Hollywood and a successful acting career (co-starring for two seasons in the NBC drama, Reasonable Doubts and in several films), to focus his life on his family and his art.


He grew up in the woods and small town settings of southern Indiana, son of schoolteachers and grandson of farmers, and his return home was a conscious choice to live a life of significance rather than one of “success’. He now lives with his wife and sons on an 80 acre farm close to where he grew up.

Tim has performed in theatres and coffeehouses around the United States, as well as significant Festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Wildflower Festival, Fox Valley, the Pawtucket Arts Festival, the Indiana Festival at Conner Prairie and each September he hosts the Driftwood Valley Music Festival in Indiana.


He has filmed three major motion pictures this past year, including The Express, with Dennis Quaid, and Public Enemies, with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.

Registrations must be received by October 28, and may be made online using the form at the top of the calendar page or by calling 509-229-3414.

Students will learn how to simplify landscape scenes and draw them in unified compositions, apply and manipulate watercolors in various ways, and paint landscapes that have strong designs, values, and vibrant colors.

Draw and paint along with the instructor as you learn how to control watercolor pigments. Be helped by him as you develop your own subjects.

Instructor Wes Hanson has painted watercolors for thirty-five years and teaches drawing and painting to adults for Spokane Art Supply and NorthIdahoCollege. His paintings are displayed at the DeniseOliverGallery in Harrison, Idaho and the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown, Washington.


He is an active member in Watercolorists of the Inland Northwest and is a member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. He demonstrates painting products for Jack Richeson & Co., a major art supply company.
