Dea Sasso, a Resident Artist from the John C. Cambell Folk School joins us to chat all about the school, it’s history, types of classes it offers, how it has changed her life, and much more! Our conversation centers around learning about the school for those who have never heard of it.
The folk school has been a fixture of the local area for almost a century, and in addition to providing hand-on learning to the nearby communities, it has also been actively involved in preserving and recording the heritage of the local area. I love seeing the robust craft ethos that is maintained there, and hope to be able to make a trip to take a class in the near future!
