SUMMARY:Drum Building Workshop with Jane E King
DESCRIPTION:Drum Building Workshop\nBuild Your Own 13″ Sacred Deer Medicine Drum\nSaturday\, October 17\, 2026\n10:00 AM – 5:00 PM \n$295 Appreciation Exchange\nA $150 non-refundable deposit is required by September 26\, 2026 to reserve your space. \nThe drum is one of humanity’s oldest and most sacred instruments. Its steady rhythm mirrors the heartbeat of Mother Earth and our own heartbeat\, connecting us to the natural world and to ancient traditions that have honored the drum for thousands of years. Used for meditation\, ceremony\, healing\, and celebration\, the drum invites us to slow down\, listen deeply\, and reconnect with ourselves. \nJoin Master Drumsmith Jane E. King for a meaningful\, hands-on workshop where you will create your own 13-inch Sacred Deer Medicine Drum from natural materials. Throughout the day\, Jane will guide you through each step of the drum-making process while honoring the spirit of the deer\, the gifts of the natural world\, and your own personal intentions. \nThe sacred process of birthing your own personal deer medicine drum is much more than a craft—it is an opportunity for self-discovery\, mindfulness\, and spiritual connection. As you work with the deer hide\, wooden hoop\, and the elements of water\, air\, earth\, and fire\, you will create an instrument that reflects your own energy\, purpose\, and healing journey. \nYour workshop experience begins with a guided inward journey to connect with the spirit of Deer and receive personal messages and teachings. From there\, you will prayerfully prepare and lace your drum\, infusing it with intention\, gratitude\, and your own unique medicine. Whether you are experienced in spiritual practices or completely new to drum making\, Jane’s gentle instruction creates a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone. \nYou will also create a matching drum beater (drumstick)\, completing a beautiful and functional instrument that you can continue to use for meditation\, ceremony\, music\, healing work\, or personal reflection for years to come. \nWorkshop Includes: \n\nA handcrafted 13″ Sacred Deer Medicine Drum\nA matching handmade drum beater\nAll natural materials and supplies\nStep-by-step instruction by Master Drumsmith Jane E. King\nGuided meditation and spiritual journey\nA full day of creativity\, reflection\, and community\n\nNo previous experience is necessary. All materials and instruction are included. \nWhether you feel called to deepen your spiritual practice\, honor nature through traditional craftsmanship\, or simply experience the joy of creating something meaningful with your own hands\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to craft an instrument that will carry your intentions long after the day is over. \nSpace is limited\, and early registration is encouraged. \nInvestment: $295 Appreciation Exchange\nDeposit: $150 non-refundable deposit due by September 26\, 2026. \nFor more information about Jane E. King and her work\, visit www.janeekinghttps://shakermuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/D70D7086-5976-463A-89EF-773F03F2F7E5_4_5005_c-300×300.jpeghearthealer.com. https://shakermuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/0BF16DDB-1ACE-4D9F-B124-28954A67E782-169×300.jpeg \nhttp://www.janeekinghearthealer.com/

SUMMARY:Make A Turkey Wing Whisk Broom
DESCRIPTION:  \nTurkey Wing Whisk Broom Workshop\nSaturday\, September 5\, 2026\n10:00 am – 4:00 pm\nDuring the 19th century\, the Enfield Shakers produced as many as “2000 dozen” brooms per year. Begun at Watervliet\, New York community\, in 1798\, the Shaker broom industry quickly became one of the most important industries for Shaker communities across the country. Brooms can also be seen as a symbol of an important Shaker ideal. Cleanliness was a spiritual and moral imperative. When Mother Ann Lee told her followers\, “Sweep clean\,” she was referring not only to the floor of the home\, but also the floor of the heart. \n \nJoin our resident broom squire Larry Antonuk for a Turkey Wing Whisk Broom Workshop. Begin by learning to make a simple bundle whisk broom\, including the knots and materials used to make all brooms. After you master the skills necessary to use a “tumble spool”\, you will move on to the more challenging turkey wing whisk broom. \nThese traditional\, functional\, high quality and long lasting brooms are made from natural broom corn. \nThis Turkey Wing Whisk Broom workshop takes place in the historic  Great Stone Dwelling dining room. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the Brethren’s West Shop and the historical equipment the Shaker Brother’s used to create their iconic brooms. \nClass size limited to 8. Advance registration required. \nPlease bring a bag lunch\, closed-toe shoes and a water bottle. \nCost:  \nMuseum Members – $65/per person (includes materials) \nNon-Members – $75/per person (includes materials) \n*Please select the quantity of tickets you would like before clicking the “Get Tickets” button. \nAll proceeds from this workshop go to support the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum. \nComing from a distance? Why not plan to stay overnight in the historic Great Stone Dwelling? Check out room availability here. \nMore about our Broom Squire Larry Antonuk:\n\nSometime in 2010\, Larry Antonuk found himself on a tour of the Enfield Shaker Museum. While watching a Broom Making demonstration he became fascinated with the process\, and wound up coming back for a private tutorial with Master Broom Maker Susan Brown. \n\n\nOne thing led to another\, and Larry is now a frequent demonstrator at the Museum. He has researched and reproduced a variety of Shaker designs\, and now sells his work in our Gift Shop. Larry is a juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen\, and can often be seen demonstrating at the Sunapee Fair.

SUMMARY:Everybody's Trash
DESCRIPTION:Everybody’s Trash is an engaging and thought-provoking presentation by Duncan Watson\, author of the award-winning book Everyone’s Trash. Drawing on more than 33 years working in municipal waste management with the City of Keene\, Watson takes audiences behind the scenes of recycling\, refuse\, and the often unseen systems that shape our daily lives. \nBlending personal storytelling\, humor\, and practical insight\, Watson traces his journey from a childhood recycling attendant to a leader who helped build a nationally recognized waste management facility in southwestern New Hampshire. His talk explores the history and current realities of waste disposal in the United States while emphasizing the deeply human side of the work—highlighting the people\, values\, and community connections found even at the “dump.” \nMore than a technical discussion\, Everybody’s Trash is a reflection on civic responsibility and shared stewardship. Watson challenges audiences to rethink their relationship with waste\, demonstrating that ambitious goals—like diverting up to 80% of materials from landfills—are achievable without increasing costs. The presentation leaves listeners informed\, inspired\, and empowered to see waste not as an individual problem\, but as a collective opportunity for connection\, compassion\, and community action. \nWho is Duncan Watson? \nDuncan Watson grew up in Northern California but found his home in New England\, where he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire and a master’s in Resource Management from Antioch University New England. As Assistant Director of Public Works for the City of Keene\, NH\, Watson has seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities of modern recycling and waste management. \nFor more on Watson’s remarkable life and his new book\, follow him on Instagram and Facebook: @duncanwatsonstoryteller. \nFree Admission \nEnfield Shaker Museum is offering this program in collaboration with Enfield Public Library. This program will be held at the Library – 23 Main Street\, Enfield\, NH 03748

Many crocheters find that written instructions feel like an entirely new language—but with the right guidance\, you’ll soon be reading them with confidence. In this session\, you’ll learn how to interpret crochet abbreviations\, understand common terminology\, and follow written step-by-step directions for basic crochet projects. \nYou’ll have the opportunity to ask questions\, get personalized feedback\, and even work through a pattern of your choice (optional\, but encouraged!) so you can apply what you learn directly to your own project. Whether you want to tackle your first written pattern or finally understand those tricky stitch sequences\, this workshop will give you the tools and know-how to move forward with ease. \n \nInstructor Bio: \nRebekah Cardenas says crocheting has been a heartfelt part of my life since age eight\, when my mother introduced me to the craft—a bond and tradition I still treasure today. What began as a childhood hobby quickly grew into a true passion and a way to connect with fellow crafters\, allowing me to forge friendships and share creativity with others who love making things by hand. \n\nInspiration finds me everywhere\, whether I’m traveling and witnessing the vibrant artistic traditions of other cultures or simply observing ordinary moments in daily life.

SUMMARY:Shaker Music and Dance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers an opportunity to explore Shaker spirituals\, dance and marching in the Shaker Meeting Room of the museum’s Great Stone Dwelling. \nNo previous experience necessary. Bring comfortable shoes.  \nThe workshop will be taught by Mary Ann Haagen\, Shaker scholar\, museum volunteer and Dartmouth Music Department resident scholar. \nSuggested donation $15. \n(Inclement weather date\, Sunday\, March 1\, 1 to 4 pm.) \nMany persons are curious as to the reason for using dancing or marching\, in our earlier religious services. It is amazing how much sound reason is behind the thinking of the early Shaker leaders\, and how much psychology was employed. \nIt was the belief of the Shakers that every faculty should be used in the worship of God\, and so\, various forms of physical exercise were introduced\, particularly the March. A group of eight or ten singers\, occupied the center of the room\, around which the members marched in perfect formation. It was with a graceful\, rhythmic motion of the hands as the members marched to the slow or quick tempo of the music. \nDancing\, or the March\, was not such a strange occurrence during a religious service of the early days of the Church. We have mention\, in the Old Testament\, of David and Miriam dancing before the Lord. Also there are 19 instances where dancing is mentioned in the Mosaic Law. \nThere was also a definite psychological purpose behind the Shaker marches\, seldom explained\, and rarely understood by the general Public. The perfect rhythmic body motions\, of a worshipper\, who combined this activity with a deep mental and religious fervor\, developed within himself\, a great spiritual inspiration\, almost impossible to understand or describe\, by one who has never witnessed or participated in this form of worship. But if one could have been present\, as I was\, and could have seen the perfect spiritual union that was produced when a soul combined the physical motions\, the singing voice and the dedicated heart\, in giving praise and thanks to God—I’m sure you would have agreed that the physical motions added a still greater dimension to the expression of Prayer. However\, as years passed\, and older members were unable to join in these marches\, the exercises were discontinued\, as it was considered necessary to maintain a perfect union among the members\, a service in which all may participate as One. \n~Sister Lillian Phelps\, Canterbury\, New Hampshire

SUMMARY:History of Fiber Arts in NH: A Lecture by Patty Williams
DESCRIPTION:History of Fiber Arts in NH:\nA Lecture by Patty Williams\nFriday\, November 14th\, 2025\n6:00 – 7:00pm\nTHIS LECTURE HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Thank you for your understanding.\nLocal fiber farmer and fiber artist Patty Williams grew up in New Hampshire\, the fiber arts\, and farming. In this lecture she will combine all three taking us on a tour of time from earliest known techniques\, fibers used\, and fiber in New Hampshire today. Patty is known for throwing in juicy tidbits of fun facts. What famous people wore Londonderry Linen? The New Hampshire Sheep Craze? And the Shaker’s did what? She will answer all of these and more. \nQuestions to follow the presentation. \nWho is Patty Williams? \nPatty Williams is the owner of Aker Fiber Farm located in Enfield Center\, NH. She began working with fiber arts as a young girl with her aunt and mom in Walpole\, NH. She learned how to crochet\, wash fleeces\, draft\, or treadle\, and card wool along with tying her shoes. She began Aker Fiber Farm part time after leaving the Army with her husband in Virginia. They then purchased the flock that had been supplying their fleeces and moved everyone to New Hampshire where Patty added Shepherd to her resume. Aker Fiber Farm has evolved into a Farm to Yarn Company providing flax to linen and fleece to yarn to customers all over the US and Canada.\nPatty began teaching fiber arts without even realizing that was what she was doing. Always wanting to share her passion\, she taught friends how to crochet and knit while in grade school and continued as she gathered more skills and moved around the country. Today\, she travels up and down the east coast teaching workshops and giving lectures on Shepherding skills\, flax\, linen\, spinning\, fiber prep\, dyeing\, and knitting. Her favorite students are folks that “never thought they could”\, as Patty believes everyone CAN!\nAdvanced Registration Required. Please RSVP by November 11th\, 2025. Limited to 60 people. \nThe lecture will take place in the Meeting Room of the Great Stone Dwelling\, which is on the second floor. There is no elevator\, due to the historical nature of the building. \nComing from a distance? Stay at our historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our room availability here.

SUMMARY:Pantry Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pantry Basket Workshop\nwith Dona Nazarenko\nSaturday\, November 1st\, 2025\n9:00 – 4:00pm\nJoin us in the Great Stone Dwelling dining room for a full day workshop! Add a modern twist to a traditional Shaker Pantry Basket in this hands-on workshop. Shaker sisters once wove pantry baskets so large they required two people to carry them—but today’s design offers both history and utility. This basket includes a woven side pocket\, perfect for extra tools\, garden supplies\, BBQ essentials\, or crafting materials. Participants will use natural round and flat reed\, paired with a tall oak handle\, and can choose to add color accents if desired. We’ll even decorate the top of the handle for a personal touch. Beginners will have the option to finish their rim work at home. \nWho is Doña Nazerenko? \nResiding in Tunbridge\, Vermont\, Doña Nazarenko has been weaving since 1988 and teaching since 1994. While living along the New Jersey coast\, Doña developed an interest in woodcrafts and related art forms that developed into her desire to take basket making classes in 1988. \nHer exploration of a different art medium has since evolved into a flourishing talent. She now enjoys making traditional baskets using reed with wooden accents to more challenging baskets using birch bark from the area surrounding her current residence in rural Vermont. \nThe highlight of the early years at her craft was having a one-on-one critique with John McGuire at Peter’s Gallery in 1992. His confidence in her and his discretion continues to help her with her current work. Today she can be seen demonstrating basketry representing Vermont fiber artists at local and out-of-state events. \n*Please bring your own lunch. Water and light refreshments will be provided. \nCost: \nLarge size (10 inches by 14 inches) \nMembers – $70 \nNon-Members – $80 \nMedium size (8 inches by 10 inches) \nMembers – $60 \nNon-Members – $70 \n*All proceeds go to the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum. \nComing from a distance?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.\nShaker arts and crafts are known for striking\, innovative\, and functional designs. Textured knitting shares these qualities. It can be used to create beautiful\, intriguing fabric with a range of performance features like stretch\, breathability\, durability\, moisture wicking and extra warmth. And your knitting doesn’t have to be complicated to create stunning\, textured pieces. It can be as simple as combining knit and purl stitches in unique ways; or employing increases and decreases in repetitive patterns that take your knitting to the next level. In this workshop we will explore a range of knitting stitches and techniques. Most are easy to learn and they all produce fabrics full of beautiful texture. We will begin with work on small pieces\, designed to develop skills and best practices. Once learned\, you will apply these skills to create a knitted item of your choice. The instructor has designed several textured knitting charts that can be incorporated into your project. You will receive the full collection of knitting charts during the workshop\, so you can continue developing your textured knitting skills at home and integrate the charts and stitches into future projects. This workshop is a great opportunity to get an early start on knitted gifts for the holidays. \nIn the workshop\, you will learn: \n\nDesign considerations for textured knitting: how to select the right yarn\, needles and color for your texture projects\, including advantages and disadvantages of different choices\nDifferent techniques to create texture in your knitting\, including: knit/purl combinations\, assigned pooling\, lace\, combining different fibers\, and simple cables\nCombining more than one texture in a project\nKnitting “rhythms” and how they can be used to increase accuracy and reduce “tinking” and “frogging”\nHow to read and work with textured knitting charts\nMany tips and tricks throughout the day as well as cameos about Shaker fiber art and crafts.\n\n  \nWorkshop participants will need to bring their own knitting needles and other tools (scissors\, etc.) and pay the materials fee in advance. This fee covers all the texture charts\, yarn\, some supplies and handouts for the workshop. Participants will have the option to purchase additional yarn\, texture patterns\, tools and other supplies on the day of the workshop. \n  \nSkill Level: Basic – Intermediate. You do not need textured knitting skills/experience to attend this workshop\, but you should have basic to intermediate knitting skills\, and enthusiasm and patience for learning new knitting techniques. \n  \nCost: \n$75.00 to register for the workshop\, plus the materials fee $35. Due at the time of registration. \nPlease bring your own lunch. Water and light refreshment will be provided. \n  \nYou will receive more information (including a detailed list of what to bring) via email when you register and pay for the workshop. \n  \nWho Is Katrina Geurkink? \nKatrina is a consultant\, designer and fiber artist living in Lebanon\, NH. She has taught\, studied and worked with organizations and learning communities for over thirty-seven years. She is a skilled facilitator\, consultant\, coach\, teacher and graphic recorder and has a wonderful way of interweaving these different abilities in her work with clients and other artists. She has traveled to many countries around the world\, leading projects\, giving presentations at conferences\, designing learning experiences and consulting with a variety of organizations and communities. \nShe first started playing with fiber when she was five years old. She learned how to knit and sew from her mother and grandmother\, and occasionally from her older sister. They were strong role models and a constant source of inspiration\, demonstrating over and over the incredible things one can create with one’s own hands. She started adapting knitting patterns as a teenager and creating her own knitting\, sewing and other designs when she was in her early twenties. She has played with many different disciplines in the realm of fiber arts: knitting\, crochet\, beading/wire working\, sewing\, surface design\, origami\, and visible mending to name a few. She is an artist member at AVA Gallery and is currently developing online courses and a YouTube Channel to help a wider audience learn from demonstrations of fiber art and craft techniques. \nLocation: North Family Laundry Building – Stone building at 410 NH Route 4A\, Enfield\, NH 03748 \n  \nComing from a distance?

SUMMARY:Shaker Archaeology from Eastern New York
DESCRIPTION:“At Watervliet\, that blissful seat\, From whence the law went forth to greet:” Shaker Archeology in Eastern New York\nwith Matthew Kirk\nFriday\, October 10th\, 2025\n7:00 – 8:00 pm\nFree Admission\nTHIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. Thank you for your understanding!\nJoin us in the meeting room of the Great Stone Dwelling for a presentation by Matthew Kirk from Hartgen Archaeological Associates. He will be visiting with a group of students and professors from Richmond University\, who will be analyzing various archaeological sites at the museum. Matthew is bringing some of his findings to talk about a Shaker community in New York. \nIn this presentation\, I revisit the interpretations from mitigation excavations in the Town of Colonie\, Albany County conducted in 2017 at the site of the original Shaker community in New York. The archeological evidence of a late 18th to early 19th-century structure located on the West Family farmstead of the Watervliet Shaker Community provides an opportunity to explore Shaker tobacco pipes and their cultural and religious significance for community members.  Smoking was common for both male and female members until the practice was banned in the 1850s. \n \nCost: \nNo admission cost\, but advanced registration required. \nComing from a distance? Stay in our historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our availability here.

SUMMARY:Make A Turkey Wing Whisk Broom
DESCRIPTION:Turkey Wing Whisk Broom Workshop\nSunday\, October 5\, 2025\n10:00 am – 4:00 pm\nDuring the 19th century\, the Enfield Shakers produced as many as “2000 dozen” brooms per year. Begun at Watervliet\, New York community\, in 1798\, the Shaker broom industry quickly became one of the most important industries for Shaker communities across the country. Brooms can also be seen as a symbol of an important Shaker ideal. Cleanliness was a spiritual and moral imperative. When Mother Ann Lee told her followers\, “Sweep clean\,” she was referring not only to the floor of the home\, but also the floor of the heart. \n \nJoin our resident broom squire Larry Antonuk for a Turkey Wing Whisk Broom Workshop. Begin by learning to make a simple bundle whisk broom\, including the knots and materials used to make all brooms. After you master the skills necessary to use a “tumble spool”\, you will move on to the more challenging turkey wing whisk broom. \nThese traditional\, functional\, high quality and long lasting brooms are made from natural broom corn. \nThis Turkey Wing Whisk Broom workshop takes place in the historic  Great Stone Dwelling dining room. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the Brethren’s West Shop and the historical equipment the Shaker Brother’s used to create their iconic brooms. \nClass size limited to 8. Advance registration required. \nPlease bring a bag lunch\, closed-toe shoes and a water bottle. \nCost:  \nMuseum Members – $65/per person (includes materials) \nNon-Members – $75/per person (includes materials) \n*Please select the quantity of tickets you would like before clicking the “Get Tickets” button. \nAll proceeds from this workshop go to support the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum. \nComing from a distance? Why not plan to stay overnight in the historic Great Stone Dwelling? Check out room availability here. \nMore about our Broom Squire Larry Antonuk:\n\nSometime in 2010\, Larry Antonuk found himself on a tour of the Enfield Shaker Museum. While watching a Broom Making demonstration he became fascinated with the process\, and wound up coming back for a private tutorial with Master Broom Maker Susan Brown. \n\n\nOne thing led to another\, and Larry is now a frequent demonstrator at the Museum. He has researched and reproduced a variety of Shaker designs\, and now sells his work in our Gift Shop. Larry is a juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen\, and can often be seen demonstrating at the Sunapee Fair.
