Support Weaving

Our Weaving Studio, situated in the Louise Pitman Fiber Arts Building, is home to numerous looms, warping boards, a yarn closet, a well-stocked supply closet, washing machine and dryer, and a reading library. Occasionally, other types of classes will be assigned to this space when there’s no weaving class, especially ones that benefit from the large expanse of tables and workspace in the front of the studio.

With your support, the Folk School can ensure that the Weaving Studio thrives and continues to provide opportunities for the hundreds of students who pass through our program each year. Your donation to this program can provide general operating support or focus on specific needs, like new stovetops, counters, or technology. Your gift today will make an immediate impact. 

Week or Weekend Scholarships

The Folk School awards several scholarships each year, providing partial or full financial support for a weeklong or weekend class. Scholarships are awarded to individuals who demonstrate financial need along with an admiration for the Folk School’s unique education model.
