Drawing from the Past

Experiments in process with an AxiDraw, a machine that plots from vector lines, allow for explorations of shaker gift drawings with new ways of making.

A Legacy of Shaker Innovation

Presence in the moment & service to the community

Building on the Shaker heritage of craftsmanship and the spirit of place, the Tangible Mind residency fosters a community of innovation, creative transformation and contemplative exchange. Building on traditions of American heritage craft and innovation.

Extending the Shaker ethos that contained in each moment is the beautiful phenomenon of being. This is something that needs no ornament or aggrandizement. We invite visitors to challenge the illusory nature of self and immerse in the present moment.
