Storrowton Village Museum will bring holiday cheer to you and your family with its Home for the Holidays Workshop, Saturday, December 5 in the 1794 Gilbert Farmhouse.
During this small group, hands-on workshop, create a holiday wreath to celebrate your love for your favorite furry family member, design a mason jar mini-centerpiece, using all natural items, and round out your time crafting by the crackling fire with some cocoa to-go!
“We wanted to create a safe, cozy atmosphere, to invite a couple small groups in to come and enjoy the season at the Village. We’ve tied holiday history to hands-on creativity and are excited to share with guests.” said Jessica K. Fontaine, Director of Storrowton Village Museum.
