A Letter From Our Director
What is a Folk School?
Folk Schools model an educational approach that places relationship, culture, and personal + community empowerment at the center of learning and life!
"Artist in Resonance" Community Singing Series
Calling ALL voices! You are invited to come and sing with us! Community Singing is accessible to anyone and everyone. All songs are taught call and response (no need to read music or have previous singing experience). They are simple, yet beautiful when sung together. Some songs are rounds, some have multiple simple parts, and some have simple harmonies. This kind of singing is for the sheer joy of being together in community, and there is no performance. Come experience the pleasure of simple connection with others through music.

Sign up for a Biological Illustration with Vicki Ramsey
Students will learn techniques for drawing with graphite pencil and pen & ink. We will focus on drawing a variety of natural forms including water, rocks, trees, insects, and small plants. Students will consider details that aid in plant identification, work on proportion and perspective, quality of line, as well as practice shading, cross-hatching, and stippling.
