The Upper Ottawa Valley Heritage Centre is inviting residents to get creative this month with two holiday craft workshops ahead of its annual A Heritage Christmas Market.
The workshops will be led by vendors participating in this year’s market, offering hands-on opportunities to learn new skills and create handmade holiday items.
The first workshop takes place Saturday, November 21, from 1 to 3 p.m., with Ginette leading a Christmas Cards and Tags session.
For $40 per person, participants will make a variety of items, including greeting cards, gift card holders, wine bottle tags and gift tags.
On Sunday, November 22, Esma Gardner-Jones will host a custom sticker-making workshop from 1 to 2 p.m.
The $5 session will give participants an opportunity to design and cut out their own stickers using vinyl sticker paper. The creations can be used for Christmas gifts, junk journals or other personal projects.
Both workshops will be held at the Upper Ottawa Valley Heritage Centre in Pembroke.
Registration is available through the museum’s Facebook or Instagram pages, by calling 613-735-0517 or emailing curator@uovheritagecentre.ca.
The centre is operated by the Ottawa Valley Historical Society and houses a collection of more than 10,000 artifacts highlighting the region’s history and culture.
