Spring is here and Tarweed Folk School is ready to release our summer classes. What a joy! It is no small thing to gather all the people and details and logistics to line up a season of offerings. And imagine another amazing aspect of bringing it all together - that you all show up and take part!
We welcome a few new local teachers who are sharing their skills in fish leather, timber framing, and sock darning!
Tarweed's Spring classes are underway and our classroom is busy with students learning about chocolate making, lichens, woodcarving animals, broom making, boosting immunity with herbs, and building wooden stools! We are excitedly preparing our next season of classes that will take place May-July, and we look forward to sharing more information with you soon. In the meantime, we still have spots left in a few of our upcoming classes, with a special highlight below for an upcoming foods class and it's connection to the wonderful not-for-profit community center, Manyworld!
As a new year takes root, we feel incredibly humbled by the support and love we've received from all of you in 2025. Thank you! Your support helps Tarweed grow our capacity to offer more classes, secure scholarship funding for students in every class, throw a few more free gatherings and crafty parties, and so much more.
