We utilize an open call proposal process to schedule our classes on a seasonal basis. We welcome proposals for all media and genres – from traditional craft, woodworking, and visual arts to music, movement, health and wellness, outdoor skills, and culinary arts.
Our Fall 2026-Winter 2027 class proposal window has closed. If you have been invited to submit a proposal, you can still submit it below; just know that we may table it for a future season.
- Propose a class here if you have a Gmail account.

We will be accepting proposals for Spring & Summer sessions (March through August 2027) in late September 2026. Stay tuned!
About Us
Marine Mills Folk School exists to enrich lives and strengthen community by inviting all people to discover the joy of creating together from a folk school tradition.
We are based in Marine on St. Croix, less than an hour from the Twin Cities, MN. We are housed in a former elementary school, which demonstrates our values of sharing resources and being grounded in community. Our classes are opportunities for artist-instructors and interested participants to come together to share knowledge and support each other in hands-on, in-person learning with no grades or competition.
Instructor support
Instructors are independent contractors with whom we share class tuition revenue 50/50 after a 15% administrative fee is applied. We market your class, manage class registration and payments, and provide administrative and day-of support.
