Join local fiber artist Mallory Zondag and learn the art of tapestry weaving during this 2 hour workshop. Using a mini frame loom and a variety of yarns and fibers such as wool roving, silk, and wool locks, you will learn how to weave patterns and textures to evoke the mossy magic of the forest floor, all set up on a wooden box frame so your weaving is ready to hang at the end of the session. The workshop will cover four different weaving techniques to bring your moss textile to life!

More about Mallory:

Mallory Zondag is a mixed-media fiber artist and artist educator. Her experience with textiles while in art school led her to create both independent and community sculpture through a variety of fiber art mediums. She explores deeply personal and connective universal stories through the meditative and hands-on practices of wet felting, weaving, sculpting, and stitching, seeking to bring the ephemeral into physical being. The growth and decay of the natural world, the duality of discomfort and attraction we feel towards it, and humanity's place within this dichotomy informs her dimensional textures and sculptural pieces.

Shaker Heritage Society

The Shaker Heritage Society (SHS) is located on the site of America’s first Shaker settlement which was founded in 1776 by Mother Ann Lee and a small group of followers. The complex is a small oasis located within walking distance from Albany Airport’s main entrance and the Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve. Visitors enjoy a mix of historic buildings and natural landscape features, the Shaker cemetery, and apple orchard. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from March through late December. The grounds are open to the public from dawn to dusk throughout the year.

We offer a wide variety of tours, workshops, and programs for youth and adults. The 1848 Meeting House and 1915 Barn are frequently used by community organizations for meetings and special events.
