Join us on May 9 for creativity and connection during our Community Workshop Days! These events are organized by Olive's Porch using the John C. Campbell Folk School main campus. Meant to provide access to specialized studios and equipment for local crafters and curious creatives alike. To ensure accessibility, we’ve implemented a sliding fee scale, making this opportunity available to everyone in our local community.
Saturday, May 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., there will be 4 featured workshops. Classes offererings include:
Paper Marbling & More with Instructor Dea Sasso
Jewelry & Metalsmithing: Bangles and Cuffs with Instructor Kristen Wilder
Confident Quilting: Heart Applique Pattern with Instructor Andi Bedsworth & Ann Tilley
Embellished Baskets for Beginners & Beyond with Instructor Peggy Adelman

Participants can enjoy a 6-hour studio experience to explore their craft, learn new techniques, or simply connect with others who share their passion. We'll enjoy a lunch of sandwiches and sides, to celebrate our time together. Lunch is included in your workshop tuition.
Olive's Porch values accessibility with both time and resources; you'll see three options for each workshop, a Sponsorship, Standard, and Scholarship Rate. This sliding fee scale has been added for accessibility.
· Standard Rate: Participate at regular price.
· Sponsorship Rate: Give the gift of craft and help cover the cost for someone else to be in class.
· Scholarship Rate: Select this rate if you are unable to attend at the standard tuition rate. This tuition is half of the standard rate and is supported by our sponsorship rate registrations.
