Support Cooking

Davidson Hall’s Cooking Studio, founded by Nanette Davidson, previous Resident Artist in Cooking, has led students through a culinary journey since its creation. The studio features industrial appliances, extensive spices, and a wood-fueled hearth, further opening the cooking possibilities in the space. This space provides unforgettable experiences for instructors and students alike.

With your support, the Folk School can ensure that our cooking programs continue to thrive.

Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated; donations of $1,000 or more can be restricted to studio facilities and equipment needs, which are determined annually by staff.

Susannah Thompson

Susannah found the Folk School while looking for contra dance in western NC. Shortly after moving to the area, she earned her striped tights and wooden clogs as a member of Dame’s Rocket, one of the Brasstown Morris Dance teams. She has also been a teacher for over 20 years. In forests and on camera, in school libraries, and in the kitchen, she enjoys creating new adventures for students of all ages. She started teaching at the Folk School in 2017 and is best known for her British Baking class. When she’s not in the cooking studio or on the dance floor, you can find her searching for salamanders, paddling local lakes, or assisting with wildlife monitoring projects.
