With a focus on providing a supportive environment, the Folk School provides a place where anyone can come to learn skills that instill in our community a sense of pride in our local culture.

News


FMM is soft-launching the return of our beloved Folk School in the new year. While our indoor classroom space is still unavailable due to pending construction, we will be offering a variety of classes outdoors contingent on weather.

Folk School classes are returning in January 2023!
