In short
North House Folk School, on the shore of Lake Superior in Grand Marais, Minnesota, teaches traditional northern crafts. It was founded in 1997 by a group of local people; its first catalogue of 23 courses included Inuit kayak building, Scandinavian bowl carving and canoe paddle making. Courses cover woodworking and furniture craft, boatbuilding, timber framing, woodcarving and woodturning, blacksmithing and toolmaking, basketry, fibre art, leatherwork, and clothing and jewellery, and the school also runs an Artisan Development Program. As a folk school it has no exams or credits.
