Earth-folk Craft Mentorship
September 13 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
This 7-month mentorship journey (September–March) brings together a small cohort for 12 immersive class days with 8 different teachers, offering hands-on experiences in broom-making, wild pottery, spoon carving, willow basketry, beeswax candle making, hand quilting, pyrography, and blacksmithing. Rooted in community, presence, and earth-based practice, this mentorship invites participants to slow down, work with their hands, and create beautiful, functional objects for everyday life.
At its heart, this mentorship is about remembering — remembering how to work with our hands, how to be held in community, and how to reconnect with ourselves through craft and embodied practice. Designed for those who feel called toward craft as a way of life, this space offers an opportunity for discovery, growth, play, and deeper connection alongside salt-of-the-earth teachers and a supportive community.
