SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Julia Whitney Barnes
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will start with the basics of how to make a cyanotype print from mixing chemistry\, coating paper and/or fabric and developing the print using the sun!  \nWe will cover how to print using fresh and pressed plants\, printing with three-dimensional objects (string\, plastic bags\, glass jars\, jewelry\, etc.)\, printing with paper cutouts and how to create and print with photographic negatives. We may also play with experimental techniques including wet cyanotype. This medium is infinite in ways to combine techniques during the creation of the print and after it has been printed. The workshop does not require any previous experience in cyanotype. \nAbout the Instructor: Sometimes considered a printmaking technique\, sometimes a photographic technique\, artist/educator Julia Whitney Barnes approaches the medium as someone painting with light. She is interested in creating objects that feel both beautiful and mysterious. Each of her cyanotype paintings recall something familiar yet slightly outside of time. Given that sunlight starts the exposure process with cyanotype chemistry\, she carefully arranges elaborate compositions at night and utilizes long exposures under natural or UV light to create the final prints. She manipulates physical impressions of plants grown in her Hudson Valley garden and other nearby areas\, along with intricate negatives that are created as digital renderings or photographs printed in reverse onto transparencies. \n \nJulia Whitney Barnes is an artist living in the Hudson Valley who works in a variety of media from cyanotypes\, watercolor\, oil paintings\, ceramic sculptures\, murals\, and site-specific installations. She has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally. She was awarded fellowships from New York State Council on the Arts administered through Arts Mid-Hudson\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council\, Abbey Memorial Fund for Mural Painting/National Academy of Fine Arts\, and the Gowanus Public Art Initiative\, among others. \nBorn in Newbury\, VT\, Julia Whitney Barnes spent two decades in Brooklyn\, before moving to Poughkeepsie\, NY in 2015. She received her BFA from Parsons School of Design and her MFA from Hunter College. Whitney Barnes has created site-specific installations at the Albany International Airport/Shaker Heritage Society\, Albany\, NY; Brookfield Place/Winter Garden\, New York\, NY; Arts Brookfield\, Brooklyn\, NY\, the Wilderstein Sculpture Biennial\, Rhinebeck\, NY; The Trolley Barn/Fall Kill Creative Works\, Poughkeepsie\, NY; GlenLily Grounds\, Newburgh\, NY; ArtsWestchester\, White Plains\, NY; Gowanus Public Arts Initiative\, Brooklyn\, NY; Space All Over/Fjellerup Bund i Bund & Grund\, Fjellerup\, Denmark; Lower Manhattan Cultural Council/Sirovitch Senior Center\, New York\, NY; Brooklyn School of Inquiry\, Brooklyn\, NY; New York City Department of Transportation\, New York\, NY; and Figment Sculpture Garden\, Governors Island\, NY and among other locations. \nWhat is Cyanotype?\nCyanotype is a camera-less photographic printing process invented in 1842 by scientist and astronomer\, Sir John Hirschel\, which produces a cyan-blue print when a chemistry-coated surface is exposed to sunlight. It is also known as a sunprint\, photogram or blueprint. The first artist (who was also a botanist) to use it was Anna Atkins. She is cited as the very first female photographer (though made without the use of a camera) and her family was friends with William Henry Fox Talbot (credited with inventing photography) and Atkins learned techniques from him and then made her own path. She published a book Photographs of British Algae in 1843. The medium has made a resurgence in the past twenty years with artists from all over utilizing cyanotype in various capacities. \nTickets are SHS Members $75\, General Public $100. \nAdmission to the Planting Utopia viewing and garden tour is included in your cyanotype admission fee! \nRegister online at Eventbrite. \n  \n  \nCategory: Workshops

SUMMARY:Learn 10 at the Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve: Shrubs
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what type of tree you are looking at? Do you know a dogwood from a blueberry? Have a clue about just how many types of asters and goldenrod plants there are? \nJoin us for a walk\, or three walks\, and you’ll be able to tell a beech tree from a locust\, spot a honeysuckle at 10 paces\, and be wowed by the fact that there are asters – and then there are many other asters. \nYou don’t have to be any kind of plant expert to participate\, and sessions will be relaxed and supportive. Join us for walks around Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve (near the Albany Airport) during the spring and summer to learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to correctly identifying plants. We will focus on ten common New York species\, look at actual specimens in the field\, and focus on the features that will help you distinguish one species from all others. (Chances are that we’ll probably mention a few other interesting plants along the way.) \nThis program is cosponsored by the Shaker Heritage Society and the New York Flora Association. Sessions will be led by Steve Young\, former Chief Botanist of the New York State Natural Heritage Program. The walks are free but limited to 10 people each. They will take place at the Ann Lee Pond Nature Preserve which is near the Albany Airport. \nTo register\, go to the field trip page at the New York Flora Association at https://nyflora.org/eventsdirectory/ and register under the Learn 10 Classes for the Shaker Heritage Society. \nThe walks will take place from 9am to noon on these dates: \n\nSunday\, May 21 – 10 Shrubs\nSaturday\, August 5 – 10 Trees\nSaturday\, September 30 – 10 Asters & Goldenrods\n\nBring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the Shaker Heritage site afterwards! \nYou can access the  event flyer here.\n \nFor more information or to register offline\, contact Lorraine Weiss at or 518-456-7890\, x 3 or educator@shakerheritage.org . \n  \nCategory:  Workshops\, Tours

SUMMARY:The Shakers: Farmers\, Stewards\, and Utopians
DESCRIPTION:A presentation for the Town of Colonie Sustainability Week Celebration \nArea residents may realize that there are roads\, schools\, and businesses that incorporate “Shaker” in their name. They may not realize that the Shakers are a Utopian society whose beliefs on gender and racial equality and communal living date to the 1700s\, and that their first American settlement was established in Colonie in 1776. The Shakers remained in Albany until 1938 and at one time owned or leased over 2500 acres in the region. \nThe Shakers’ agriculture soon formed the basis for several key industries which helped to broaden their economy. While they lived separately from the World (as they called non-Shakers)\, they participated in the larger agricultural community’s discussions about best practices. A presentation at the Shaker Heritage Society will introduce this remarkable community. \nThe presentation is a free event and will take place in the Meeting House at Shaker Heritage Society. The talk will last 45 minutes\, and participants are welcome to stay for an optional tour of the site afterwards. Bring a picnic lunch if desired. \nContact 518-456-7890\, x 3 or educator@shakerheritage.org  for more information. You may download the brochure here. \n  \nCategory: Lectures \n

SUMMARY:Online Lecture: Intersections and Singular Paths - An Introduction to Shaker Theology
DESCRIPTION:We describe the Shakers as a Christian sect that developed into a celibate\, pacifist communal group who seek salvation by living a pure life. Behind that apparently simple statement lie complicated questions (and answers) that were tested and modified over many years.  \n \nWhat were believers seeking when they heard Mother Ann Lee’s millennial message? Why was celibacy crucial? Did they use the Hebrew Bible and/or the New Testament? How did they come to believe in the dual nature of God as both female and male? Why did they reject the Trinity? Were their views radical or traditional? How do their ideas challenge thoughtful seekers today? \nJane F. Crosthwaite\, Professor Emeritus of Religion at Mount Holyoke College\, will discuss (some of) the theological issues raised by the unique challenges of the Shaker vision. The talk will be presented online. \n  \nRegister online at Eventbrite.  To register offline\, contact educator@shakerheritage.org\, or call 518-456-7890\, x 3. \nThere is no fee for this event\, but donations would be appreciated: https://home.shakerheritage.org/donate-today. \n  \nJane Crosthwaite is interested in the roles of women in American religious history and Shaker history and art. Her research is primarily directed toward a study of the drawings produced by the Shaker sisters during the mid-nineteenth century period known as the Era of Manifestations. \nHer most recent publication is Shaker Visions of the Divine: Essays on their Sacred Art and Scripture (Richard Couper Press\, 2022).  Dr. Crosthwaite’s biographical entries for R. Mildred Barker and Hannah Cohoon are included in the American National Biography project (Oxford University Press)\, and her reviews and articles are frequently published in scholarly journals. \nShe has received a teaching award from Mount Holyoke\, inclusion in The Princeton Review’s 300 Outstanding Teachers\, a Distinguished Alumni Award from Wake Forest University\, and an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree\, from Queens University of Charlotte. \n  \nCategory: Online\, Lectures

SUMMARY:Save Your Own Garden Seeds Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for the growing season! \nThis is the first of a two-part workshop\, the second session will involve a seed swap in the fall! \nThe appearance of the Asian Jumping Worm in our region makes it harder to share plants among gardeners these days\, but we can still share seeds.\nCornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners Janet Given Chen\, Kathryn Adams Harter and Laura Lehtonen will discuss how to support our local ecosystem by saving and planting seeds from native plants. \nThe session will provide an overview of what native plants are\, their importance for home gardens\, how are seeds are formed\, and why we should save native seeds. Then we’ll get down to the nitty gritty of how to collect\, store\, and germinate perennial seeds\, including milkweed and its specific germinating needs. There will also be a brief introduction to winter seed sowing basics\, although the topic will be covered more thoroughly in the fall session (yet to be scheduled). You can view the flyer for the event here. \nNote that this is a very traditional activity on the Shaker Church Family site\, where the Watervliet Shakers developed the process of packaging seeds in small envelopes for sale to the World beginning in the 1790s. The program will include a brief introduction to the Shakers’ seed industry. The session will end with a stroll in the Shaker Heritage herb garden. \nThe workshop will take place in the Meeting House. \nSHS Members $5\, General Public $10 \nParticipants are not required to attend both the seed saving workshop and seed swap events. \nFor more information or to register offline\, contact educator@shakerheritage.org or call 518-456-7890\, x3. \nRegister online at Eventbrite. \n  \nCategory: Workshops

We will meet at 6 pm at the Meeting House on  January 18th\, February 15th\, March 15th\, April 19th\, May 17th\, and June 21st. \nTogether\, we will explore the history\, politics\, economics\, and social nuances of food in America. What do we eat and why? Who controls the production of food and at what cost? What do we mean when we talk about eating “responsibly”? Is our modern ideal of clean living just a mirror of 19th century trends? \nBooks: \n\nThe Road to Wellville\, T. Coraghessan Boyle\nIn Defense of Food\, Michael Pollan\nThe Jungle\, Upton Sinclair\nFood Politics\, Marion Nestle\nDiet for a Small Planet\, Frances Moore Lappé\nThe Third Plate\, Dan Barber\n\nJoin the conversation!
