Holding Space for Waldorf Handwork, Woodwork and Practical Arts Teachers to connect, create, share and be renewed in their work to develop the creative spirit in humankind.
We Are Better Together
Teachers in the Practical Arts have much to gain from gathering for deep conversation, focused study and joyful creation. With each bringing their own experience, it is in community that we can identify and develop ways to meet the needs of today’s children. We will gather in Fort Collins, Colorado during the summer of 2021, for lectures from passionate presenters, hands-on creating sessions and time to meet and learn from people teaching your age group and special subject.
In the meantime, we are connecting through the Wool Wood Wax Blog. Won’t you join us?
Teachers of the various areas of Practical Arts and Crafts (handwork, woodwork, pottery, sculpting, blacksmiths, glass work, stone carving, basket making, furniture making, leather work, jewelry making, shoe making, metal work and many more) are welcome no matter their level of experience or position. If you are curious about how to use practical skills to develop the whole human being, you are welcome in the circle. Our focus will be on Waldorf Education for grades 1-12. Private and Public Teachers, administrators, home school, and non-Waldorf teachers are welcome. We have things to offer you. We want to hear from you.
Our time together will be a mix of lecture from passionate professionals, small-group discussion, hands-on making and lively fellowship. In addition, the workshop will include opportunities to learn from today’s practitioners…and that includes you! Your direct engagement with students is a valuable thing and we want your insights, experiences, techniques and project ideas. Through sharing, you will leave with a treasure of relevant, classroom tested, ideas to bring home to your classroom.
If you feel moved to lead a session or hands on activity, you are encouraged to respond to our Call for Speakers.

Inner labour Outer experience Peace within
Works outward. Works inward. Love to the world.
Do not judge Do not turn away Say nought
But listen; But seek; But suffer;
Do not wonder Do not resist Do not ask
But look – But endure – But wait –
Love them all. To the end. Until you receive.
