If you are interested in training, I very highly recommend the Applied Arts Program. Admission to the 14th Cycle of the Applied Arts Program is now open! It will start on March 15, 2026!
This four-year program meets for two weeks each summer and one week each winter, covering two grades each year. Course sessions take place at the Fiber Craft Studio, which is located in the Threefold community in Chestnut Ridge, NY, just 30 miles from New York City.
If you're looking for a curriculum with videos and whatnot, I recommend Waldorf Handwork Educators. Currently they just have grades 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Happily, however, Fifth Grade is the topic of WHE's upcoming online international Waldorf teaching conference. It will be held in Feb 2026.
5th Grade: Beauty - Rhythm - Balance
February 14, 15, 16 
9A to 3P Pacific Time
Registration is open now!
