WHAT IS A FOLK SCHOOL
We see Folk Schools as a living approach to hands-on learning, emphasizing practical skills and crafts, but also — through individual and shared experience — building social connection, democracy, community, unity, equity — and joy! We see folk schools as a way to help individuals learn, to gauge their own progress according to their own needs and desires, free of grades, certificates, & external measures.
INTERESTED IN A SCHOLARSHIP?
Tarweed Folk School believes in removing barriers and bringing Folk School to all! We reserve spaces in every class for scholarship students and award these scholarships, no questions asked. We grant full and half tuition awards; these scholarships do not apply to class materials fees, which are paid separately. If you need a scholarship, please email info@tarweedfolkschool.com to register.

THANK YOU ALL! FALL OFFERINGS COMING SOON
Thanks for a great July! It was a blast - Tarweed had a whirlwind of a month planning and celebrating a dynamic lineup of teachers and students for an action-packed weekend of classes.
Our third and final weekend of 2024 classes is coming up September 28th and 29th, and we hope you will join us for a weekend of learning, building, tending, growing, and enjoying delicious earthen oven-baked pizzas at our Saturday pizza potluck.
NEW WEBSITE FEATURE! A COMMUNITY CALENDAR!
In response to the enormous enthusiasm we got from all of you, we are also looking for ways to build a folk education outside a typical class structure, in a more grassroots way. How can we have more ongoing, self-organized gatherings, work-parties, skill-shares, and workshops? What else can we figure out to make it easier to learn what we want and need to learn? The work of a folk school is what we make it. Right?
