Windmills for Water Pumping, with Jon Passi

A windmill is both a rural icon and a time-honored method of pumping water - one that is still a viable method today.

This class will introduce you to windmill parts and types, and the basics of constructing a foundation for the tower. The class will have access to my Aeromotor 403 B windmill, which operates as my main water pump.

Sliding Scale Course Fee Guidelines

Supporter Level Ticket: $65
This tier reflects the full value of the offering. If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.

Sustainer Level Ticket: $50
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take multiple classes per year and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.

Supported Level Ticket: $35
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, and/or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level. We value your presence and contributions to our community and do not want any economic circumstances to be a barrier to attendance!
