Class Opportunities for Local Residents
Classes are occasionally available for $25 registration fee from the Folk School for local students (as defined below). The fine print:
- 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 Class Opportunities For Locals (Formerly Local Scholarships) to the person answering your call.

Classes Currently Available:
Powder Printing on Glass
Sunday, Mar 16 - Saturday, Mar 21, 2014 (Week-long)
Subject: Glass
Instructor: Diane Smith
Create imagery and texture in fused glass through powder printing. Using a process similar to traditional screen-printing, powder printing replaces ink and paper with glass and heat. Learn image preparation, screen creation, and firing options as you turn digital photos, graphics, and artwork into lasting heirlooms. Weather permitting, we will take a walk around campus to take photos to include in our art glass pieces. All levels welcome. Note: Additional materials fee is estimated at $156.

Kalejdoskop: "A Metaphor for Life" (Scandinavian Week)
Sunday, Mar 23 - Saturday, Mar 29, 2014
Subject: Kaleidoscopes
Instructor: David Baker
A kaleidoscope (kalejdoskop in Danish and Swedish) has four parts: an eye piece (how we see our world); the object chamber at the distal end of the scope (what we choose to see); the outer body (what others see); and the inner body (what we mirror to the world). Join us in making stained-glass kaleidoscopes and discover color as magical as the northern lights! No experience needed, just an open mind. Scandinavian Heritage Week honors the Folk School's roots, inspired by "folkehøjskole" of these northern European countries. In the company of newfound friends, you will enjoy special food, music, dance, and craft traditional to the region.
