Rustic Arts & Nature Crafts

July 11 - 14, 2024

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 more than 35 nature-based workshops to choose from and more than 30 talented instructors to work with. Create rustic furniture, faux scrimshaw, pottery, or garden projects; try your hand at blacksmithing, woodcarving, nature printing, fabric dyeing, and more. Get in touch with your inner wood sprite with yoga nidra and inspired writing prompts. Start your days with morning coffee and treats on the Art Cafe patio, enjoy daily lunches on the Green, and browse the incredible Woodlanders Silent Auction featuring rustic arts, nature crafts, books, tools, and more donated by instructors and students and benefitting the Shake Rag Alley scholarship fund. 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!
