Abstract	Mention the Shakers and many people think immediately of the fine pieces of furniture made by this group in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Shaker's philosophy, religious beliefs, and daily lifestyle greatly influenced the design and construction of their furniture and other crafts. While studying and building Shaker-style pieces, students in the author's materials processing class learn about Shaker society through readings, discussions, research, and a field trip. He highly recommends that other technology educators consider including information on the Shakers, along with related hands-on projects, in their courses. In this article, the author provides a bit of history of the Shakers, discusses the reasons for studying the Shakers in a technology class, and describes Shaker-style projects. (ERIC).
