TRADITIONAL SKILLS, CRAFTS AND ARTS: Avon Hills' purpose is building and enriching community through the teaching and sharing of traditional skills, craft and art. We do this through connecting local and regional artists and makers as well as naturalists from many cultural backgrounds with members of our community. In 2024 we offered 42 experiences and classes and brought 38 instructors to campus, 24 of them new and a 300% increase over 2023. Of note was our inaugural Timber Framing for FLINTA, which brought those who do not identify as male to the folk school for a timber framing course taught by two women. Also exciting was our second year of welcoming April Ogimaakwe Stone, an Ojibwe basket weaver from the Bad River Tribe in northern Wisconsin to share her culture and craft. We increasingly draw from all over the United States, bringing folks from the Upper Midwest and coast to coast.
