Join us at Shaker for a create your own Barn Quilt workshop, taught by Darcy Leigh of The Creative Jam!

Create a stunning Americana 18-inch round wood barn quilt

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll paint and assemble your quilt from pre-cut wood pieces, then finish it off with a sturdy hanger so it’s ready to display.

While each design will be the tulip design featured above, your colors are entirely up to you. You can go with classic red, white, and blue, soft pastels, brilliant rainbow, or something completely unexpected with patterns and blends. Make it your own masterpiece.

All materials are included, no experience needed — we’ll guide you step-by-step. Just bring yourself and your creativity.

11:00 - 2:00 pm

Ages 14 and Up

In this 4-day course, students will learn the basics of both linocut and monotype printing. We will carve a linoleum block that can be printed multiple times and discover how this differs from making a monotype, which produces a unique, one-of-a-kind print! With our linoleum blocks, we will go over mark-making, basic carving techniques, and how to print an edition of prints. With monotypes, there will be more room for play and experimentation as we work with a plexiglass plate to explore additive, subtractive, and stenciling techniques. No prior experience necessary.

All materials included.

This three-day retreat invites women to deepen their relationship with themselves and others through expressive arts, reflection, and heartfelt connection. Held at the historic Wiawaka Center for Women on Lake George, The Art of Relating: Pathways to Expression offers a spacious, restorative environment to slow down and reconnect with what feels true.

Now in its third year, the retreat blends intentional creativity, movement, time in nature, and soulful conversation to support women in strengthening self-trust, clarity, and authentic expression. Guided by relationship coach and author Joëlle Lydon, and rooted in the teachings of her book Unbreakable Us: Removing the Barriers to Love, this experience is ideal for women seeking meaningful connection, personal renewal, and grounded insight into how they relate.

No artistic experience required. Lodging and meals included.
