Become An Instructor

Thank you for your interest in teaching at Marine Mills Folk School!

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.

We are currently taking class proposals for Spring-Summer 2027 (March, April, May, June, July, August). If you have an idea to submit for a later season, you can still submit it below; just know that we will review it at a later time. Whether you’re a returning instructor or someone interested in joining us for the first time, please use the fillable form linked below.

• Class Proposal Form (requires a Gmail account, preferred)
• Class Proposal Form (if you don't have a Gmail account)

(View the proposal form HERE before you submit)

Class proposals for Summer Session are due November 2. Our team will then review them and will respond with decisions on proposals in December. We may not be able to accommodate every proposal; thank you for your understanding.

 

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.
