Nestled in the heart of Grand Lake, Colorado, Rocky Mountain Folk School (RMFS) emerged in 2022 as a haven for those passionate about preserving traditional arts. Against the stunning backdrop of this mountain lake community, the school offers a diverse array of classes, ranging from woodworking to fly tying, botanical dyeing, rug hooking, and pottery.
With a commitment to inclusivity, the school has quickly become a year-round retreat for artisans and enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding and mastery of various crafts.
School for Traditional Art Classes
The school’s vision extends beyond its current facilities, with plans to create a dedicated hub featuring multiple buildings catering to Elemental arts, Lake ecology/environmental arts, fiber arts, and heritage arts. Local instructors, known for their expertise and commitment to their craft, lead these engaging classes.
Rocky Mountain Folk School’s emphasis on fostering a community of learning and exploration sets the stage for individuals, both seasoned and novice, to embark on a journey of artistic discovery.
Their mission:
RMFS provides year-round learning experiences of traditional arts and crafts that engage the hands, warm the heart and stimulate the mind, in an inspiring and inclusive mountain lake community.
As Rocky Mountain Folk School takes its initial steps, the focus remains on providing a platform for authentic artistic expression and skill development. The school is poised to become a dynamic center where creativity flourishes against the backdrop of the beautiful Grand Lake community.
As the school evolves, it invites all who are eager to explore the rich tapestry of traditional arts in a setting that reflects the unique spirit of the Rocky Mountains.
