Wolf Craft School and Collective

We are in the permitting phase of building Wolf Craft School, a non-profit Craft School in Grass Valley on Wolf Road.

We are building a place to explore creativity in a natural setting and learn traditional handicrafts like blacksmithing, woodworking, ceramics and fiber arts. In addition to classes, we will offer tent cabins for overnight stays for a more immersive experience.

We went before the Planning Commission, and only 4 of the 5 Commissioners were present. The vote was 2x2, which means we didn't get the Use Permit. We are appealing to the Board of Supervisors and our hearing will be October 22, 2024 at 10:30 at the Rood Center in Nevada City. Please come and show your support!

We believe arts and crafts are a vital part of the rural landscape and this project has a place here. It will serve the community and bring visitors that will enjoy the area and will boost revenue in the local economy. 

If you agree, and want to support our project, please email the Board of Supervisors by clicking here and let them know.

To get a better look and feel of what we are building, we worked with an illustrator to bring our 2D specs to life. See below for renderings.

Driving on Wolf Road, you will see very little due to the sharp angle of the hill next to the road. Here's a rendering of what our neighbors across the street will see. The far left building is the barn, that will house sheep, alpacas and goats. Next to that is the Ceramics studio. On the right is the office, which is the first building you'll come across when driving onto the land, and the one most visible from the street. Behind the office, you can see two of the platform tent cabins up the hill.
