While you Shop: Children's Holiday Puffin Workshop
Date: Dec 8

- 12:00 pm
Where: Art Gallery Classroom
Workshop
While caregivers catch up on holiday shopping, children, aged 8 – 11 years can get in the holiday spirit too! Create a puffin or polar bear ornament using an easy embroidery technique. We’ll be making holiday ornaments based on the animals of Newfoundland & Labrador in our museum galleries. No embroidery or sewing experience needed, just bring some enthusiasm!
What to Expect:
- We will learn embroidery stitches and techniques needed to make holiday-themed puffin and polar bear ornaments
- We will work on one ornament during the session and participants will take home materials (and skills!) to make a second ornament at home
- We’ll also enjoy some hot chocolate and a cookie, visit the Connections gallery to see the animals featured in our ornaments, and take in all the holiday decorations at the Rooms along the way.
Cost: $35 plus HST (10% Discount for Rooms Members). Limited spaces! Pre-registration required. To book your child’s space, please contact Visitor Services at (709) 757-8090.
Today's Events & Programs
Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!
Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.
