Support Basketry, Gourds, Chair Seats & Brooms

Rock Room is a beloved studio that provides space for our basketry, gourd, seat weaving, and broommaking classes, inviting students into the space to expand their knowledge in these types of craft. Equipped with a dye-cooking stove, work sink, tools for each craft, and open space to spread out, Rock Room is a special fixture on our campus.

With your support, the Folk School can ensure that our basketry, gourd, seat weaving, and broommaking classes thrive and continue to provide opportunities for the hundreds of students who pass through these programs each year.

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.
