Fait à la Main

The Fait à la Main Workshop Series offers instruction in Louisiana's Cajun and Creole cultural traditions. These classes are open to the public, but members of Friends of Louisiana Folk Roots receive a discount. Check back occasionally to see new workshop listings!

For those of you that are interested in taking the lessons, Louisiana Folk Roots has received a grant to videotape the Fait à la Main series in order to preserve valuable lessons for future generations of students. In keeping with our non-profit status, the video recordings will never be released or broadcast commercially but are to be key elements in the creation of an archive that will be available for study in the future. Limited use of some footage from the classes may be posted on our website in an effort to promote the series and the organization in general. It is our hope that you will understand the camera's unique ability to capture not only the specific messages of each teacher but also the important processes involved in passing the tradition on.
