2026 Shaker Footstool Taping
Saturday, March 21, 2026 | 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
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 a hands-on introduction to the art of chair taping! 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.
No experience necessary and all materials provided. Participants will be proved with an assortment of different colors of tape to choose from - specific colors not guaranteed.
