Sign up to make your own beautiful Naked Table with Charles Shackleton on August 20-21, in beautiful Woodstock, Vermont.
The tables are made on Saturday, August 20 in the ShackletonThomas Workshops located in the Bridgewater Mill. This year participants have the rare privilege of crafting their tables out of Sugar Maple harvested from the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park. The park has a special place at the heart of the Woodstock community and a legacy of conservation and forest management that is one of the oldest in the country. Participants will take a tour of the forest to see where the trees were harvested and to tag a replacement tree.
On Sunday, August 21, the tables are joined end-to-end and lined up on the historic covered bridge in Woodstock to create one long community table. The community is invited to join the table makers, logger, forester, sawyer and furniture makers, to share in a locally-sourced meal prepared by the renowned Woodstock Farmers Market.
The cost: $850 includes making your table, forest tour, horse drawn logging demonstration, iconic Naked Table Project T-Shirt and a ticket to the community locavore lunch by Woodstock Farmers’ Market, under the historic Covered Bridge the next day.
If you aren’t making a table, we invite you to join the makers at the Sunday meal on the Covered Bridge, tickets are $35 each. Tickets sell fast, so reserve now: email nakedtable@shackletonthomas.com
All proceeds from the event will benefit Sustainable Woodstock, a community organization dedicated to “organize and empower community members to integrate environmentally, economically, and socially responsible practices in all aspects of their lives to create a sustainable community.”
