How the Woodlanders Gathering Works

Choose the days you plan to attend and fill each day with as many workshops as you can fit into your schedule, ensuring that your choices don’t overlap times. Pay the $115 day fee for each of the days you plan to attend, as well as the materials fees listed at the end of each workshop description.

Day fees include: your choice of workshops, lunch, snacks, beverages, and evening activities. Thursday and Sunday registrants are welcome to attend evening events on Friday or Saturday.

Please remember to purchase one Woodlanders Day Fee for each day you plan to attend the Woodlanders Gathering. Quantity can be adjusted at checkout.

If you are registering more than one person for workshops, please use the Additional Information box at checkout to identify who will be taking each workshop to help us prepare welcome materials and inform instructors.

Guest lunches for persons traveling with you who are not attending workshops are available for purchase below scheduled classes.

Rustic Arts & Nature Crafts

July 9 - 12, 2020

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 over 50 nature-based workshops to choose from and more than 30 talented instructors to work with. Create rustic furniture, garden structures, baskets, or concrete/mosaic sculptures; try your hand at blacksmithing, woodcarving, working with leather, 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!
