Teach a Class

Duluth Folk School classes are taught largely by people from the community—those of us who have a skill and enjoy sharing it.

Would you like to teach a class? You can propose a class, and then hold it right here at Duluth Folk School! We hope you’ll become one of our more than 100 instructors who have together taught hundreds of classes here.

Class Topics

Hundreds of different classes have been taught at Duluth Folk School since our founding. Our classes support our mission of “building community through joyful experiences of handcrafting, art, and gathering.”

For example, here are some class topics that have been offered before:

  • woodworking, sewing, foraging, painting, printmaking, upcycling, preservation, outdoor skills, music, cooking, baking, plant care, natural history, paper arts, beading, sustainability, herbalism, and weaving

If you are unsure whether your class topic is well-suited for Duluth Folk School, please reach out to us and ask!

What is Duluth Folk School’s role?

Duluth Folk School makes it as easy as possible for you to teach a class, so you can focus on that class. We support classes and instructors by:

  • offering a welcoming and supportive infrastructure for participants and instructors
  • providing classroom space that fits with your topic, including a commercial kitchen
  • providing a host on the day of class
  • advertising your course
  • handling registrations and payments
  • providing liability insurance

Please contact us with any questions, or fill out a form for each class you’d like to teach. We will review your information and contact you about next steps.
