Discover Your Inner Craftiness Perhaps you’ve always had an inclination to create your own greeting cards. Or maybe you’ve always wanted to make your own peach jam, but don’t know where to start. Are you looking for a hobby to keep your hands busy while commuting to work? Or have you always been a bit interested in old recipes? All of these exciting opportunities are offered this August at Pickering Museum Village. Paper Craft (barcode 53543), the first of a series of adult craft workshops, will be held on Thursday, August 7, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the Museum Village. Pam Edmonds and Katrina Pyke will teach a variety of techniques including rubber stamping, dry embossing, quilling, and paper filigree that you can use at home to create your own cards and gift tags. All paper and stamping materials will be supplied, but participants are requested to bring small, sharp, pointed scissors, and a quilling tool, both of which can be purchased at a crafting store. If you have children, bring them along, and they can participate in the Kids in the Village Heritage Games and Crafts drop in program that runs concurrently for children pre-school to 12 years of age. You can play too! This workshop will be followed by three more “Adults in the Village” craft workshops, featuring topics on canning and preserving, crocheting, and hearth baking in a 1830s kitchen, each on a Thursday in August. For information on how to register for this or other great workshops, call the Pickering Museum Village at 905.683.8401, or the Registration Desk at the Pickering Recreation Complex. The cost for the workshop is $20/person. It’s no wives tale; Pickering Museum Village is really just 10 minutes from central Pickering, just off Hwy #7, between Brock Road and Westney Road. Come out and discover what your community museum has to offer!
