Michigan Folk School Series Community Enrichment is proud to partner with Michigan Folk School to offer enriching and unique experiences for our participants throughout the year. This collaboration gives nature lovers, cooks, gardeners and crafters alike the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning, learn new skills and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. The highlighted classes take place in a variety of locations, including the beautiful Dixboro Methodist Church and the Michigan Folk School’s homestead. Enjoy the beauty and excitement of new crafts and knowledge!

Making Healing Creams, Salves and Lip Balm Wellness is not just about what we put into our bodies, it is also about what we put onto our bodies. While many people today avoid skincare products with synthetic ingredients, there is a growing crowd who have given up scanning ingredient labels in stores and started making their own healthy, high-quality skincare products. This class will use biomimicry, or nature, as our trainer. Together we will focus on a handful of healing herbs that can be easily found or grown in your garden. You will learn how to infuse oils with herbs and how to blend these oils to create healing salves, creams and lip balm. Upon leaving this class, you will be empowered to repeat the process on your own for years to come.

Spoon Carving Intensive Workshop

Earth Oven Workshop This workshop serves as an introduction to the realm of natural earth building by teaching you how to build your own low-cost, wood-fired oven from clay, sand, straw and water. Earth ovens bake like expensive commercial wood-fired ovens while costing a fraction of the price, and serve beautifully for making breads, pizza, and just about anything that can be baked or roasted.

Earth ovens use radiant, conductive and convection heat, simultaneously producing crisp, caramelized crust with a moist inside. Building out of unfired clay, they can be hand-sculpted into beautiful works of art that become wonderful additions to any backyard or patio. You will build a miniature working model that you can take home for a truly hands-on experience.
