Occasionally, we will offer complimentary classes to local residents. These classes are posted on this page on our website as they become available. We encourage you to check this page often.
Details:
- Each person may only enroll in one of these classes within a 12 month period.
- You must be "local." Read below in the Am I Local? section to see if you qualify.
- Tuition is FREE, but each student will be required to pay a $25 registration fee and any additional materials costs. If there is space available and you choose to stay on campus, regular housing and meals rates apply.
- These are available on a first-come first-serve basis and may not be used on a class for which you are already registered.
- If you choose to register, you must do this by phone or in person - no online registrations, please. Call our Registration Staff (828-837-2775 or 800-365-5724) and be sure to mention that you are inquiring about the special complimentary class and the $25 registration fee to the person answering your call.

Woodcarving
with instructor Helen Gibson
1 space available
How many times have you carved a character and put his or her hands in the pockets? In figure carving, hands are often ignored unless they're holding something. But think of how many ways we express ourselves with just hand movements! Join us to demystify the complexity of hands and learn how to create hand positions of interest to better express emotion in your carvings. All levels welcome, though some carving experience is helpful.

Dance Skirt with Aino Riiho
2 spaces available
By popular request at Folk School dances, have fun sewing your own dance skirt! Besides the fundamentals of learning to take measurements and make patterns, enjoy the creativity of choosing the grade of "twirliness" of your skirt and other basic clothing-design themes. Different design options are available for various skill levels, so all are welcome! Expect to finish a skirt this weekend that fits you right, and get ready to make an impression on the dance floor!
