SUMMARY:Woven Rocks with Jean Reed
DESCRIPTION:Woven Rocks\nwith Jean Reed\nFriday\, July 11th\, 2025\n2:00 pm – 6:00 pm\nEnfield Shaker Museum \n447 NH Route 4A \nEnfield\, NH 03748 \nLet me share my weaving knowledge with you\, allowing you to create your own weaving patterns on rocks.  This unusual art form will give you some very basic weaving techniques with materials such as jute\, leather\, waxed linens and other cordages. \nThis is a wonderful way to embellish rocks you may have picked up on the trails or at the beaches\, during your travels.  Some of my rocks have come all the way from Ireland and Colorado.  Others that were gathered from a New Hampshire river bed will be supplied to you\, along with all the materials and tools needed to create unique weaving patterns. \nI urge you to bring some rocks of your own and a couple of small branches (twisted grapevine is great or tiny pieces of driftwood). Keep in mind as you collect rocks\, that no shape or size should be overlooked.  As you can see from the photos\, I’ve used a variety of large (5-6”)\, small (at least 3”)\, flat rocks are easiest to work with but round ones are a good challenge. \nFeel free to contact me at murrayhillweaving@gmail.com  with questions. \n \nLearn more about the Instructor: \nMurray Hill Weaving is Jean Reed’s dream come true – resulting from her love of basketry\, and weaving for over 45 years. \nBasketry classes took a natural turn into chair seating and other types of art which include a variety of children’s workshops. Located at 685 Murray Hill Road\, Hill\, NH\, the heart of New Hampshire\, Jean teaches in her shop\, and art studios around the country. \nShe has taught for the NH League of Craftsmen\, as well conventions in Michigan\, North Carolina\, Kentucky\, Stowe Basket Festival and Northeast Basketmakers Guild. In addition\, she is a member of BAG\, a local group of artists called Book Artist Group. \nCost: \nMembers – $40 \nNon-Members – $45 \n*Materials fee of $18 included with your ticket price. \n*Advanced Registration is required\, maximum capacity is 10 people. \nComing from a distance?

SUMMARY:Cat Head Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Cat Head Basket Workshop\nwith Dona Nazarenko\nSaturday\, July 26th\, 2025\n9:00 am – 5:00 pm\nEnfield Shaker Museum \n447 NH Route 4A \nEnfield\, NH 03748 \nJoin us in the Great Stone Dwelling for a day of basket weaving with Dona Nazarenko from Country Spirit Baskets. When making this basket you are using natural and dyed reed as this is a more modern style of the Traditional Shaker Cat Head basket. Shaping this into a Cat Head can be tricky as the sides will increase then to reach the rim area the rows must decrease in size. This is a beginner friendly class and Donna creates a pre-fabricated kit for each participant. You will leave the workshop with a completed basket. \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: \nMembers – $72 \nNon-Members – $82 \n*All proceeds go to the educational mission of Enfield Shaker Museum. \nComing from a distance? Stay at the historic Great Stone Dwelling. Check our room availability here.
