Scherenschnitte Valentine’s Day Card-making Workshop for Kids at the Wilton Historical Society
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 02/05/2022
According to Quiet Valley Historical Farm in Stroudsburg, PA, “Scherenschnitte (pronounced something like Sharon-Sh-knit-a) is the German and Pennsylvania German tradition of cutting paper. Traditionally, these paper designs were done by folding the paper and cutting to make a continuous design similar to the childhood craft of creating paper snowflakes or paper dolls that hold hands.” On Saturday, February 5, from 11:00 – 12:00 Wilton Historical will be offering a Valentine’s Day card-making workshop for kids, featuring scherenschnitte and its popular hearts and flowers motifs. The workshop will be led by Museum Educator Catherine Lipper, who will talk about the history and customs of Valentine’s Day and its rise in popularity during the Victorian age, and, of course, scherenschnitte. Kids will make their own Valentine cards and heart-shaped sugar cookies with a scherenschnitte-inspired decoration. Sweet!
