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.
Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
