North House Folk School

Overview

Wool, woodstoves, and winter weave together for a cozy week at North House each February.  Join us on campus for this special week-long gathering that celebrates all manner of fiber arts. Featuring speakers, demonstrations, community gatherings, and coursework from long-time North House instructors as well as new guest artisans; tuck in to the warm and wooly camaraderie this winter. Create your own fiber adventure spinning, knitting, felting, sewing, beading and more!

Fiber Friday, a fabulous feature of Fiber Week, will be February 16. We’ll host a day of speakers and mini courses, free for all enrolled students. Meet your fellow students and instructors, expand your interests and enjoy our cozy campus learning atmosphere. Come early or stay late; you won’t want to miss Fiber Friday!

This year’s Featured Guest Instructor is Mette Østman, an extraordinarily talented felter and educator from Odense, Denmark. In 2005 Mette started a small business focused on felt making and teaching, and has gathered fans and students from across the globe. Mette will offer two felting courses during Fiber Week and will be our Fiber Friday Featured Speaker.

The Fiber Friday schedule,  a list of community gatherings and evening events, will be available in early January 2024. Registration for courses opens October 4 for members and October 5 for all.
