Support Woodworking

In our Woodworking Studio, students learn to make a wide range of items, including shaker tables and boxes, Windsor chairs, twig furniture, marquetry, butcher blocks, toys, and more.

With your support, the Folk School can ensure that the Woodworking Studio thrives and continues to provide opportunities for the hundreds of students who pass through our program 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.

Jeffrey Teal

Growing up around woodworking tools and machinery, Jeffrey developed a passion for craftsmanship at a young age, helping his dad with house remodels and cabinet building. Jeffrey’s journey into the world of woodworking truly began when he built guitars for Collings in Austin, Texas, where he fell in love with the artistry of working with wood.

At the Folk School, Jeffrey has had the privilege of participating in the timber framing mentorship and structure raising projects, as well as collaborating with Barry Stiles from Foxfire to restore our Log Cabin.

“Each project has been incredibly rewarding, highlighting the versatility and beauty of wood”.
