Visitors to the Canterbury Shaker Village regularly delight in the beauty of its surrounding fieldstone walls. The Shakers built even their walls with the high-quality craftsmanship for which they are so famous. Learn about the Canterbury Shaker’s stone-wall building craft and experience making and restoring the walls on-site at the Village. Master stone artisan and mason, Kevin Fife, has been engaged by the Village to draw on his decades of knowledge to restore portions of the Village’s iconic walls. As part of this project, Kevin will lead a hands-on workshop which will expose participants to the engineering and aesthetics of the Shakers’ skill through the actual rebuilding of a wall section. The two-day workshop, running each day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., is held Sept. 18 and 19. Kevin has completed restorative work at several historic landmarks in New Hampshire including: Canterbury Shaker Village, The Fells/John Hay Estate in Newbury, Prescott Farm in Laconia, and New Hampshire Farm Museum in Milton. The $250 all-inclusive fee also includes materials and delicious lunches each day. Visit shakers.org to sign up.
