Our guest writer this week is Rose Holdorf. Rose is a founding member of Tarweed Folk School and on our steering committee. An educator, woodworker, and basket weaver, Rose's love for the folk school and craft education comes from a joy of strengthening our connections between each other and the environment. Adapted from her speech in March at the 2024 Sustainability Coalition Town Hall, Rose shares how craft, practical arts, and folk school learning can embody a practice of sustainability.
This week, we would love to introduce Kiko Denzer as a guest writer. Kiko is in our steering committee as well as a wonderful teacher who teaches classes like hand broom making, scything and an upcoming mud ovens in a day class! Ideally, he would sell wooden spoons and bowls directly, person to person, and the value of a wooden spoon would be common knowledge.
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!Â
