Pillow Top Workshop
When: Wed, May 15, 1-5pm
Where: Cupids Legacy Centre
Description: Pillow tops are woven with wool on wooden frames and were traditionally crafted by Newfoundland lumber camp workers to be gifted to their wives, girlfriends or mothers. They are sewn onto pillows, used as throws, pot holders or place mats. While there are different methods of making these pillow tops, it always begins with a handmade square wooden frame, usually no less than 12"x12" in size. Today Nicole Penney is one of a handful of people carrying on this tradition and provides detailed instructions during this hands on workshop.
