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.

Whoo's out on the Preserve tonight? Multiple species of owls call Kentucky home, and Shaker Village's mixed woodland and prairie ecology is perfect habitat for these winged predators. We'll be using our senses to search for these elusive creatures on this evening hike, listening closely to see if any owls are vocalizing nearby.

Delve into needlework with a Shaker cross stitch sampler! Young women in the 19th century often stitched samplers as one of their first needlework projects, learning key sewing skills. We’ll discuss Shaker samplers broadly and then take a close look at some original Shaker samplers in the Shaker Village collection. Due to their fragility, these samplers are seldom on display – this is a rare opportunity to view them. Participants will then begin on their own samplers, working a reproduction inspired by a sampler made by Pleasant Hill's Mary Ann Downing in 1845.
All participants will receive a kit with all necessary materials (including embroidery hoop, needle, fabric, floss, and sampler chart). Two fabric choices will be offered: white 32 count linen evenweave fabric or white 16 count cotton Aida fabric (fabric choice not guaranteed for registrations made after January 21). Participants should have a basic understanding of cross stitch.
