2010 marks the fourth year for our annual Ocrafolk School. Held the last week of October (from Sunday, October 24 - Friday, October 29), the school offers classes in photography, cooking, jewelry making, Ocracoke Island history, customs & nautical lore, and ships-in-bottles.
The OcraFolk School is a wonderful opportunity to learn a new skill or improve an existing one, or immerse yourself in island culture while enjoying superb food, outstanding music, and island living in a creative community atmosphere.
I understand there are still a very few openings in some of the classes (sorry, but the Ocracoke Sampler class I teach with Captain Rob Temple and park ranger David Frum is already full).
Take a look at the OcraFolk School web site to learn more about the school and what we have to offer: http://www.ocrafolkschool.org/
We hope to see you in October!

Thanks, Philip, for writing about The OcraFolk School as this is one area about Ocracoke I didn't know much about & now I'm most intrigued!
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to participate this year, but I will definitely add it to my "bucket list".
The hard part, I would imagine, is selecting which class to take! It all sounds exciting!
I look forward to seeing pics and hearing about the 2010 OcraFolk school in October.
