2025 Basic Chair Taping - Footstool

Saturday, August 23, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Chair Taping Footstool

The Shakers used a distinctive material for crafting seats on chairs, footstools, and settees — colorful, woven strips of cotton or wool known as “tape” or “listing.” In this workshop you’ll get to learn the art of chair taping for yourself! We’ll use a mix of traditional and modern materials, and by the end of the afternoon you’ll walk away with a completed footstool.

Dipping (002)
Dipping 2

Join us for an afternoon of dipping beeswax candles as we explore historic methods of light and illumination. During Pleasant Hill's heyday, the Shakers cultivated dozens of beehives, valueing the bees both for their important role as pollinators and for their production of honey and wax. We'll discuss Shaker Village's continuation of this long tradition, including sampling some honey from our hives, before making our own candles over an open fire.

Winter Kitchen Fire

For the Shakers, temptation and sin lurked just around the corner!

We'll take a special stroll through some of our historic buildings as we share stories about the naughtier side of life at Pleasant Hill.
