We're trying something new, and so can you! March 15, 2025 we will be hosting our first craft workshop. You will be able to make an 18th-century style tie on pocket! Worn by men and women, these pockets could be accessed via a slit in the outer garment. Some women even wore them on the outside of their petticoats.
This workshop is $10 to cover the cost of materials. You will receive a pre-cut kit and instruction on construction of your pocket. Our IPA Danielle will guide you through construction steps and provide historical examples of how pockets can be decorated at home.
Call (315) 343-4711 to register. Space is limited. AND watch out for our next workshop on basic tin-smithing, coming up in April!
