It's a St. Patrick’s Day-inspired edition of Museum Kids on Saturday, March 3rd at 10am. Adelle Webster from Glocca Morra Farms will be on hand to help kids make their very own hand felted shamrock brooch. 

Felting is the art of sticking wool fibres together with the use of a needle and foam block. The wool locks itself together with multiple punctures and becomes firm and pliable enough to create shapes and sculptures. Children aged 4-plus, with the assistance of a parent or guardian, will enjoy working on this fun craft.

Spark Box Studios will be on hand at the Lennox & Addington County Museum & Archives to teach the art of Pysanky on Saturday, March 3rd from 1:30 - 3:30pm. This is the first in a new series of Heritage Arts Workshops happening at the museum, located at 97 Thomas Street East in Napanee.

Ontarians are invited to reminisce at what’s sure to be a nostalgic edition of “Tuesday Night at the Museum”. The Archives of Ontario’s Speakers Bureau series “Lights, Camera, Archives” will take to the screen on February 20th at 7pm.

It will be impossible to 'mask' your enthusiasm on February 3rd. Museum Kids presents a fun mask-making workshop with designer Clelia Scala beginning at 10am.

Clelia was previously at the Museum in December for a popular Finger Puppet edition of Museum Kids, and will undoubtedly impress again when she returns for this fun mask workshop. Clelia makes masks for theatre and film and has taught mask-making and puppet-making to groups of five to twenty-five people in classroom and workshop settings. Her masks have appeared on stages in Canada, the United States, and Europe.

Happy holidays from the Museum & Archives! Please note our hours of operation over the festive season.
