We recently purchased music and video equipment and would love to start putting these to use! We want to expand to start accommodating musical artists of Bloomington as well as our traditional artists, but we need to hear how we can help from YOU. If you are a music artist in the Bloomington area please take 2 minutes to fill out this survey so we can learn more about you and what we can offer. Additionally, if you have any musical friends please send them this survey so we can get tapped into the local music scene and begin adding value to the community with our new resources.

Forgive our mess at the tool library, we are in the process of doing some remodeling and upgrades to better serve you 😊!

With springtime comes spring cleaning, and if you are looking to clear out some of your used tools and hardware, but don't want to just through it away, consider donating them to Burl & Ingot Workshops ! We are a non for profit that loans tools for short periods of time out to people who couldn't otherwise afford to purchase them, like a library, but instead of books, it's tools! Just stop by our facility, there will always be someone available from Noon to 7pm, Tuesdays thru Saturday,  all other days and times are by appointment.

Hello everybody 👋! Just a friendly reminder from the staff here at Burl & Ingot, if you currently have tools checked out past their return date, please, be sure to return them asap so others may check them out, thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

Hello Hoosiers! Today is #MeatlessMonday! If you do not know what Meatless Monday is worry not, because this post will tell you everything you need to know! Basically, you just don't eat meat on Monday, but why is that? Well, reducing your consumption of meat can not only combat preventable disease such as heart disease, but it helps reduce water waste and fight climate change. 

Changing minor parts of your diet can have major impacts on the planet, but don't just ask me, check out this local group right here in Bloomington, called BloomingVeg - Bloomington, Indiana. 
In fact, this week on April 8th at 12 pm they will be hosting a presentation on the impacts of animal agriculture and how you can help climate change! Find out more here: https://bloomingveg.org/earth-day-2021?fbclid=IwAR1_KkjZC90iHCtnNS0z1EM-PjTqO64Tuo7EKVe5nxstJ1NR8fvAdzbfIhk

But, they don't stop there! For Meatless Monday, if you do not know what do, BloomingVeg has your back, with their very own dining guide for all vegan-friendly places in Bloomington to eat: https://bloomingveg.org/place

Upcycling is a great habit to practice for sustainability! Check out this old jar that has been repurposed 3 different ways! Originally, it was a face cream, but it can be used for may different things. It can hold q-tips, coins or miscellaneous bathroom things like tweezers and nail clippers!

Wow, thank you to Gabriel C Lantz today for an awesome photography master art class at Artisan Alley. 

You really helped explain how to use the camera settings much better (instead of keeping it on preset modes), the Rode wireless mic settings, and how to get the right settings for recording in different circumstances. Your experience is valuable and I just wanted to say I really appreciate having you as a resource in our arts community.

Snap shares soared to a record on Wednesday after it updated investors about its biz. Snap expects 50% annual sales growth for the next few years (music to investors' ears). 

With 265M daily users, Snap says it reaches 90% of 13- to 24-year-olds in the US. 

Investors also liked Snap's new strategy to grow ad sales in non-messaging features, like Snap Map. 35M businesses are already on Map, and Snap will continue Yelp-ifying to drive sales. With a growing mix of products, investors think Snap is past its pics-only tween stage: shares have more than 4X'd over the past year.

Whether you’ve heard about WordPress in your research about website development or this is your first exposure to it, you might be wondering what makes it so different. With dozens of other reputable platforms from which to choose, what makes WordPress so unique? 
That’s a great question and one which has no shortage of answers. However, we’ll only stick to a few of the most compelling to help small business owners understand what they’re missing out on. Here are a few reasons why businesses need to know about WordPress.

This search engine optimization tip goes way back to the early 90s – back when I first started building websites. In the 90s, it was essential to build websites that were quick and optimized because people still had dial-up internet connections. In order to build a fast loading website, you had to be very careful not to use too many large images. If you did include bigger image files, then it would take forever for the website to load, and we all know that we only have a fleeting amount of time to capture somebody’s attention.

This tool, Compressor.io, written by Stéphane L. is one of the best compression tools I have ever used. It's great at reducing your image sizes without losing much quality at all! Check it out!
