TARWEED SEEDS

Red sliding doors with a tarweed folk school sign.
The iconic sliding red doors are re-opening to a hardware store and our brick and mortar classroom space and office!

Celebrate the re-opening of the 167 year old hardware store in downtown Corvallis, and get to know Tarweed Folk School with live demonstrations in woodworking, fiber arts, and more!


Join us Saturday, July 12th from 12 - 6pm to celebrate the opening of Wade Hardware, re-opening in our town’s oldest commercial building at 400 SW 2nd Street, formerly Robnett’s Hardware.

We started Tarweed in part because we’ve been inspired by all the creative and knowledgeable folks we’ve come to know in this community; we wanted those gifts to have a wider reach, and to help re-build a culture where everyone shares the work of schooling, and where schooling gives all of us the tools we need to live well, to support each other, and to feed what feeds us.


Read about how you can participate using our new community listserve and explore our tips on how to organize your own workshop/event!

Greetings, Tarweed friends! The solstice is approaching and the days are long, helping fruit to ripen and flowers to bloom.

 

While many of us are busy tending to our gardens (lots of watering!), getting ready for camping trips and travels, and embracing the buzzing of summer, Tarweed Folk School has put together a few new classes and events that we hope you will enjoy.
