Woodlanders Gathering

How the Woodlanders Gathering Works

Choose your days, then fill them with as many workshops as you can fit into your schedule (be sure your choices don’t overlap times). Register online or call our office. Registration deadline July 13 (with late registrations as space allows)

Fees

Day Fee (Thursday-Saturday): $125 includes your choice of workshops, lunch, snacks, beverages, and some evening activities.

Half Day Fee (Thursday-Saturday): $65 includes your choice of workshops, am/pm snacks, and beverages. Does NOT include lunch, which can be added on for an additional fee.

Material fees are additional and listed at the end of each workshop description. Friday and Saturday evening dinner picnics are also additional. Check back for our fun Friday and Saturday events as we get closer to Woodlanders—last year we had some raucous games with suds, and a twilight concert!

6pm Friday Night: Woodlanders Games

You won’t want to miss this Woodlanders tradition! A three-event team competition that will test your skills, verve, and talents, the winning team gets the Kingery Torch (and bragging rights!). Gather on the Green for some good old fashioned fun, suds, and a little trash talk with your friends. (Rain space: Lind Pavilion).

6pm Saturday Night: Music on the Green with Scott Stieber and Don Myers

Join us on The Green during Woodlanders Gathering with Scott Stieber & Don Myers. Scott and Don have fun playing a variety of original and ‘cover’ tunes, including blues, singer-songwriters, and Brit Invasion. Enjoy a summer evening alongside the creek with friends. Refreshments available for purchase. Open to the public. Tickets also available at the door.

Rustic Arts & Nature Crafts

July 16 - 18, 2026

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 30 nature-based workshops to choose from, and talented instructors who love returning to the gathering to share their creativity. Create rustic furniture from sturdy benches to whimsical side tables, garden-inspired pottery, or leather projects; try your hand at blacksmithing and paper crafts, and explore ways to upcycle and reclaim items for art and sustainability. 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!) benefitting Shake Rag Alley’s mission. 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. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Come for a day, two, or all three and have the time of your life!
