Tarweed Folk School - register for Fall classes!

[info]

Dear Members of the Sustainability Coalition,

Greetings! Tarweed Folk School has opened registration for its Fall 2025 season of classes beginning this September through November, with a range of half-day, full-day, multi-day, and multi-week classes taught by local educators, craftspeople, scientists, tradespeople, small business owners, and members of our Willamette Valley communities. 

Participants can register for classes in basketry, fiber arts, foods, woodworking, and more. Tarweed Folk School classes take place at both their new brick and mortar location within Wade Hardware (400 SW 2nd St) in downtown Corvallis, and across other partner locations in Corvallis. Class costs range from $65 to $670, full and partial tuition scholarships are available to all. Register today for Tarweed’s last season of classes in 2025!

Tarweed Folk School stewards opportunities for community-based, hands-on learning to all ages. The mission of Tarweed Folk School is to tend to the land, ourselves, and each other through the sharing of practical arts and place-based knowledge in the heart of the Willamette Valley. This season of classes is in partnership with Wade Hardware, Greenbelt Land Trust, Corvallis Waldorf School, Highland Woodshop, and Cascade Pacific Resource Conservation & Development. 

Many thanks,

Margot Schwarz (Tarweed Steering Committee Member)
