The Folk School: Preserving craft, creating community
Folk School Weekends
Folk School Weekends at Folklore Village are community-focused weekends of learning. Multiple classes run simultaneously, taught by community members and visiting artists. Topics include blacksmithing, fiber arts, cooking, heritage craft, and more. Folk School Weekends coincide with barn dance evenings; Folk School students are encouraged to participate! The evening barn dance is free for Folk School students.
Please Note: Because our classes are intentionally designed to be small, please sign up early to ensure your spot.
Each class is assessed three weeks before its scheduled date to see if the minimum number of students has been met. At this time, classes may be cancelled if the minimum has not been reached, as many instructors need ample time to prepare their materials.
Tuesday Folk School
The Tuesday Folk School is a free community get together featuring rotating programming, including makers meetups, song circles, open mics, craft workshops, and other activities. The Tuesday Folk School is always free, so stop by and join us for a night of community fun and fellowship.
