It’s like summer camp for adults!
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced craftsperson, you are in for an incredibly fun and creative time with nearly 40 nature-based workshops to choose from and more than 30 talented instructors to work with. Create rustic furniture, garden structures, or baskets; try your hand at blacksmithing, woodcarving, working with fiber, gourds, and more. Take time to relax, soak up the sunshine, enjoy the company of a great group of nature-loving folks, and discover the magic of Shake Rag Alley’s lush gardens, tall trees, historic buildings, and natural spring-fed stream.
Come for a day, two, three or the entire four days and have the time of your life!
