With support from Thomas and Susan (Kent) Foran Family Foundation.
Special fabric remnants or scraps of velvet and silk have been delicately crafted into small pillows using the humble straight pin. Since at least the 17th century they have marked courtship, documented weddings, and welcomed the birth of new babies. Bits and bobs of ribbons, beads, sequins were used to adorn these simple cushions.
Join us to create your own special pin pillow, using kits based on historical examples. Choose to commemorate a wedding, anniversary, birthday, or someone you love! We will inspire you with historic patterns from The Rooms collections and crafty examples to elevate your love of making.
The cost of the workshop includes:
-
all materials with printed instructions
-
a short presentation on pin pillow history
-
viewing of examples from The Rooms collections
