Just over the state line in Brasstown, NC is 380 acres in a rolling valley that offers visitors the chance to share in the crafts, techniques and tools that the mountain people historically used in every day life.

Watch a demonstration or better yet, take a class in pottery, ironwork, woodcarving, weaving, furniture-making, woodturning, basketry, glasswork, painting, or the music and dance of Appalachia. Visit the shop where high-quality crafts by school instructors and other regional artists are for sale.

The shop is open Mon. – Sat. 9 to 5, and Sun. 1-5. A schedule of upcoming classes can be found on the school’s web site at: www.folkschool.org
