BLUEGRASS & GEE'S BEND 2022

| One of our most popular workshops is back with great bluegrass music classes and Gee's Bend quilting. This four-day workshop provides a truly immersive experience with a fun and enthusiastic community of musicians and artists. This year join us for bluegrass music classes, famed Gee's Bend quilting, puppet making, and more! With more than 1,140 acres of forest consisting of breathtaking canyons, waterfalls, miles of hiking trails, and glistening streams, there’s plenty of exploring to do during your free time. Take a hike, go canoeing, or pick a porch and rocking chair to relax. 

The Alabama Folk School reserves the right to require masking or testing before events. All of our staff and instructors are fully vaccinated. Some of them are part of high risk groups so your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Requirements are subject to daily case numbers at the time of events. Currently there are not requirements in place. Should a requirement be in place for your event you will be notified with plenty of time to plan accordingly.
