Michigan Folk School

The Michigan Folk School is committed to creating a community engaged in authentic, hands-on experiences through the teaching and sharing of traditional folk arts, crafts, music, and skills in an inspiring natural setting and to promote the preservation of forest and farmland.

Michigan Folk School is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping learning, tradition, and community alive. Our classes create a community where we honor and share the old ways of doing things — offering access to skills you once might have learned while sitting on your grandparents’ porch or as part of your community. Mi Folk School offers courses in rural folk skills, including organic & biodynamic agriculture, cooking & breadmaking, building and woodworking, animal husbandry, arts and crafts, and nature studies. ​We offer more than 50 classes each quarter and we’re growing and evolving to meet the needs of the community, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for, let us know.
