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.

Join us this June at the 49th Annual Saratoga Jazz Festival presented by GE Vernova featuring 2 days, 2 stages, 22 electrifying artists and 13 festival debuts!
