Shaker Heritage Society is thrilled to be teaming up with Darcy Leigh of The Creative Jam. Create a stunning botanical keepsake in this hands-on Pressed Flower Workshop! You'll design an 8x8" double-sided floating glass frame, beautifully showcasing pressed flowers and foliage. Choose to create a minimalist floating floral arrangement or add a background for a layered, artistic touch.

All materials, including a variety of pressed flowers, decorative papers, and an 8x8" double glass frame, will be provided. Whether you're drawn to a delicate, airy look or a vibrant, framed composition, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind nature-inspired piece to display in your home or gift to a loved one.

No prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity and love for botanicals!

Organized by

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.
