Shaker Village Closed

winter-scene

Shaker Village is closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in observance of the holidays.

We wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

"...the order of God requires that on Christmas day Believers should make perfect reconciliation, one with another; and leave all grudges, hard feelings, and disaffection one toward an other, eternally behind on this day; and to forgive as we would be forgiven; and nothing which is this day settled, or which has been previous to this, may hereafter be brought forward against another."

- Edward and Faith Andrews, The Order of Christmas. NY: Oxford Press, 1954

Watercolor Painting Workshop

Date: April 1, 2023
Time: 10:00 am  to  4:00 pm

Watercolor Painting for Beginners

Three workshops in 2023

Acclaimed watercolorist Charley Jolly began painting 40 years ago, with no experience. His passion for watercolor and love for his subjects have since guided him to becoming a master at his craft.

These three 6-hour workshops are designed for beginners, and can be taken as a series or as individual classes. Charley's easy, low-key approach is perfect for kindling your own passion for painting. All supplies are provided - all you need to bring is your interest!

Watercolor Painting

Simple Structures

Saturday, April 1 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

This study investigates the wonderful graphic power of a simple structure. The topic addresses basic drawing and composition along with the emotive power of simple structures. And, what better place to study this topic than Shaker Village?

Workshop Price (Includes a boxed lunch):
Annual Passholder: $125
Non-Annual Passholder: $145

Watercolor Painting

Kentucky Landscape

Saturday, June 24 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

This study explores the range of expressive possibility offered by Kentucky's varied landscape. Charley will demonstrate the potential to pull feeling from each season while demonstrating compositional devices that strengthen any painting.

Techniques for Texture

Saturday, September 30 | 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

This study outlines the influence of texture on a finished work. Texture can be detailed or implied. Charley will demonstrate how to paint both, but just as importantly, he will demonstrate how each technique can be employed to enhance a completed watercolor work.

Workshop Price (Includes a boxed lunch):
Annual Passholder: $125
Non-Annual Passholder: $145
