Hello, My friend Leslie and I are looking for a non traditional type basket weaving type class to learn how to build or construct bird nests. Do you have a class that might apply or know of a place or artist that might teach such a class. I have taken a class at the Folk School in the past and loved my experience.
Thank you, Barbara
Hi Barbara,
I would recommend reaching out to our main office at 828-837-2775 to be directed to someone who could give you more information on classes being offered for this upcoming year, recommendations of instructors, and what may be a good fit for what you’re looking for. Hope to see you at the Folk School soon!
I would like a catalog of the January-June 2022 courses. I cannot seem to connect with the online list of offerings. Please tell me what I need to do next. Thank you.
