Folkways Program

Hart Square Foundation’s classes and workshops offer opportunities to learn about folklife, arts, traditions, and culture. This program was established in 2021 as a way to develop and foster ongoing partnerships with folklife artists and practitioners across the region. Hart Square Foundation works to partner with highly specialized artists, storytellers, and instructors.

Learning the “old ways” of art forms such as quilting, canning, and bobbin lace not only helps preserve the traditional way of doing something but also informs new material culture traditions. These courses highlight the creativity in everyday life that fills our existence with meaning.

We invite each participant to experience this art in a nurturing environment. We hope learning in our community will spark a love for preservation, self-reliance, and creativity.
