The Campbell Folk School has announced the schedule of workshops through September at Olive\u2019s Porch, their new experience space in downtown Murphy. While classes at the Folk School are an immersive experience, Olive\u2019s Porch offers shorter workshops and a more drop-in mentality that expands access. Named after the Folk School\u2019s co-founder Olive Dame Campbell, the school offers programming for all skill levels and ages.<\/p>\n

Tammy Elwell is an instructor at Olive\u2019s Porch and also works there as a sales associate. She\u2019ll be teaching a day-long workshop in September called Beginning Crochet: The Delightful Dishcloth. \u201cOlive\u2019s Porch is special because it\u2019s a great way to explore your creative side,\u201d she says. \u201cIf you\u2019re interested in making something with your hands and you have a busy schedule, you can fit in a couple hours or take a day to learn something new. Many students bring along a visiting friend or family member for a fun creative shared experience. Workshops are non-competitive, small in size and, generally, all materials and tools are provided or easily found locally or online.\u201d Other topics for upcoming workshops at Olive\u2019s Porch include basketry, banjo, sashiko, natural dyeing and woodcarving.<\/p>\n

The Folk School\u2019s Outdoor Concert and Dance Series also continues through August, featuring a concert with artist-in-residence Becky Hill, a foot percussionist, on Thursday, August 11. On October 1 and 2, visit the Folk School to celebrate Appalachian heritage at the 46th Fall Festival, featuring live music and dance, craft demonstrations and good food.<\/p>\n
