Sabbathday Lake Shaker Infusions and Elixir Tasting
Sabbathday Lake Shaker Infusions and Elixir Tasting
Space Gallery, Portland ME

Infusions made while living with the last three living Shakers at the Sabbathday Lake Community in New Glouchester, ME.

The shakers have a historic, still active herb business and Brother Arnold helped identify native foraged species of plants, fruits and trees to make separate infusions. All were combined in the communal drinking vessel for a talk and site-specific Elixir tasting at Space Gallery, where the exhibition was installed. These infusions were then added to the Beautiful Possibility Touring Elixir.

At a separate event, local amateur historians were invited to give short talks about local hidden histories in Maine.
