The Folk School is excited to continue our work with Lessonface, an innovative online learning organization founded by previous Work Study student Claire Cunningham.
Choose from over 20 classes in a variety of subjects such as cooking, fiber arts, glass beadmaking, music, dance, painting, woodworking, and writing. An instructor leads each session, offering demonstrations and conducting group follow-up sessions. Students are encouraged to delve into the finer points of their class subject and will participate in a Folk School orientation and closing ceremony.
We are pleased to offer these Zoom classes in varying lengths and formats, based on the topic and instructor. Class sizes range from 8 to 24 students. Tuition ranges from $60–$390, depending on class length and size.
Material requirements will depend on the class topic and skill level. Some sessions require only a pencil, while other students will receive a personalized kit from the instructor. View class offerings and register for classes below.
