Basic Chair Taping - Footstool

Saturday, August 20 | 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Chair Taping Footstool

The Shakers used a distinctive material for crafting seats — colorful, woven strips 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 you’ll walk away with a woven footstool in a color combination that’s uniquely yours. No experience necessary and all materials provided.

Pricing (includes box lunch)
Annual Passholder: $105
Non-Annual Passholder: $115

Sold Out!

Program fee includes one complimentary admission to Shaker Village and one voucher for 20% off dining at The Trustees’ Table (excluding alcoholic beverages).

Dining reservations recommended, call 859.734.5611. Discovery Trek availability is limited, and advanced registration and non-refundable prepayment is required. Day-of walk-ins may be taken if space is available.
