Events & Programs
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, and sequins were used to adorn these simple cushions.
We invite you to join us to create your own special pin pillow. Choose to commemorate a wedding, anniversary, or birthday. 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
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms members. Register online!
