Reviews
"Folk Art on Fishing Wharf with workshop buildings, pizza oven and plaza make for a peaceful setting."
"In a world where "art" is being slowly taken over by computers and AI, this school of traditional art and craft is truly a gem that needs to be nourished and supported. Truly something for everyone here to learn and enrich their lives with."
"This is one of the most wonderful places to take a class in the forgotten arts. It’s located in the heart of Grand Marais, in a beautiful location, and you learn so much about folk arts. I love taking classes here and keep coming back over and over."
"Always enjoy exploring the North House Folk School in any season when visiting beautiful Grand Marais on Lake Superior's North Shore. Founded in 1997 by a small handful of locals passionate about traditional craft and cooperative learning, it's always a thrill to revisit and watch the campus grow and change on the cozy shores of Grand Marais. Originally offering Inuit kayak building, Scandinavian bowl carving, and canoe paddle making, the school now hosts over 350 classes and 3,000 students per year and connects students and instructors from all over the state, country, and world, including classes and sailing trips on the Hjørdis, a gorgeous 50’ traditionally-rigged steel schooner. Check it out. You'll be glad you did!"
"I went to a public community event there in the Fall called Unplugged, complete with a family-friendly concert and crafts for kids. I hope they do this again! They have a lot of programming and we're very friendly to out-of-towners for an event that I expected to be focused mainly for those who are more involved in their classes."
