INtro to Kolrosing

Tuesday, May 12: 6:30 - 9 PM

Kolrosing is a craft of the people. Truly accessible, all you need is a wooden surface, a knife to incise lines, a pigmented powder like cinnamon or coffee to fill the lines, a bit of oil, a hard smooth object for burnishing cuts closed, and your own hands and eyes. The materials and the basics are simple once you get the hang of them, but you can take the craft wherever you want, from simple symbols and letters to stunning patterns and illustrations.

  • Tuition: $50 per participant

  • Apply for a scholarship

  • Materials Fee: $15 to be paid to instructor

  • Age / Ability Level: 13+, Beginner

  • Students will get a good feel for the basic knowledge and skills of kolrosing through discussion, demos, practice of techniques, and feedback. This is a great way to get started with kolrosing and leave with confidence to continue practicing and experimenting with these foundations.

  • CENTER FOR PEOPLE AND CRAFT is committed to building a diverse, inclusive learning community where people of all backgrounds feel welcome and able to participate. As we launch our first workshop series, we are dedicating space in each class for reduced-tuition scholarships to support anyone facing financial barriers. As we build a more robust scholarship program, we hope this initial launch will remove barriers and expand access to hands-on learning for all.

    Anyone with financial need is encouraged to apply for a half-tuition scholarship. To be considered, please submit a brief online application. Please note that CENTER FOR PEOPLE AND CRAFT is operating with limited financial resources and an entirely volunteer staff. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a spot for every applicant. Each class has one scholarship slot available. Applicants who are not selected in this current round are welcome to reapply.  Apply here

Jules Dungca fell headfirst into the world of folk art through a one day beginner greenwood spoon carving class and has since then been branching out to as many crafts and related skills as he can get his hands on—broommaking, tool restoration, leatherworking, kolrosing! He’s in danger of getting sucked down the rabbit hole of textile and fiber arts next. His favorite thing about hand crafts is how they ground you in the present, in tactility, and in community with others.
