John C. Campbell Folk School

Located in the mountains of western North Carolina, the John C. Campbell Folk School offers weeklong and weekend courses in traditional craft, fine art, music, dance, cooking, gardening, nature studies, photography, storytelling and writing. Founded in 1925, the school is based on the Danish folk school model, and strives to provide experiences in hands-on learning and community life that are joyful and enlivening. Students live on campus and share family-style meals. Each day begins with early morning music and storytelling. Nature walks, tours of local artisans' studios, evening music, and dance programs are part of each week's schedule. A founding member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, the school also operates a craft gallery that represents over 300 regional artists.

I live near the John C Campbell Folk School (lucky me!) and also teach here several times a year. There are week long classes year round and weekend classes once a month in all kinds of crafts etc. - metal/jewelry, clay, weaving, basketry, blacksmithing, woodworking, book arts, cooking, music, dancing, painting and so much more! I think a week at the Folk School is like a summer camp for adults. It is non-competitive and is a wonderful place to learn something that you've always thought of doing but never had the time, hone up on skills, try something new! Take a look at their website to get an idea of the classes available. I take classes as well as teach (I teach Stained Glass, and Kaleidoscope classes) so I speak as both a student and an instructor. Come! It is also a beautiful part of the country.

North Carolina Glass Center

Reviewed By PugglePower - Boca Raton, United States

My wife and I had the opportunity to make a glass in the "Hot Shop" today. Last time we were in Asheville, we found this spot too late to participate, so we were sure to make arrangements this time. It was a "blast"!!! The staff were welcoming and warm . Our instructor, Stephanie, was fantastic. She explained everything, made us feel at ease and comfortable and was very knowledgeable. Being able to make our own blown glass tumbler was great addition to our trip to Asheville. I highly recommend this experience.
