North House Folk School

Learn Traditional Northern Crafts

Nestled on the shores of Lake Superior in the vibrant harbor town of Grand Marais is the North House Folk School. Here, hands, hearts, and minds come alive through hundreds of immersive courses in traditional northern crafts—from timber framing, boatbuilding, and blacksmithing to wool spinning, hide tanning, baking, foraging, sailing aboard the historic schooner Hjørdis, and more.

The Hjordis is a 1 ½ hour sailing excursion out of the Grand Marais harbor and is one of our top recommendations for visitors.

Whether you’re here for a weekend workshop or a weeklong immersion, our comfortable accommodations will help you, recharge, and create lasting memories. Book your stay and class today!
