Tarweed folks are gearing up for a weekend of bounty with our summer classes taking place this weekend across town. From fiber arts to medicinal plants to working with fire and weaving baskets, we've got a full lineup of classes--all with a focus of tending to the land, ourselves, and each other. Read below to see a full list of this weekend's classes and their availability.

Our second weekend of 2024 classes is coming up July 20th & 21st, and classes are now open for registration! From blacksmithing to basketry, fiber arts, cooking, herbalism, and working with clay or fire, there is a lot to learn from the amazing teachers who have crafted this lineup of classes.

Full and partial tuition scholarships are available upon request, and remember that students and their families will also be invited to a pizza potluck the Saturday evening of classes. We hope you'll join us!

Teachers are preparing materials, the Steering Committee is sorting out last minute logistics, and we are looking forward to hosting students for a full weekend of coursework--all with a focus of tending to the land, ourselves, and each other here in the Willamette Valley.

It is not too late to sign up for a class! Read below to learn about some of our classes that still have openings, and remember that if a class is full you can always ask to join the waitlist.
