For over 60 years, the Oshawa Museum (OM) has celebrated our City’s history with engaging events, inspiring exhibits, and an immense collection of archival materials. Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario in beautiful Lakeview Park, the OM tells the story of Oshawa from Indigenous inhabitants to present day. Home to Oshawa’s history, the OM is managed by the Oshawa Historical Society.
Description
Enter the Gilded Age in style! Join the Oshawa Museum and The Costume People for a two-day Gilded Age Hat Workshop.
Led by Patty Davis, fashion historian and arts educator, students will construct their own fabulous fascinator, perfect for any and all special occasions. All materials are sourced from quality millinery suppliers and provided to make the hat, but participants must bring their own sewing kits (including needles, thread, pins, scissors and a 6-inch ruler). The hat is elegant, surprisingly easy to make, and the perfect way to spend a weekend full of creativity and laughter.
When: Saturday, May 9 AND Sunday, May 10
Time: 10 AM–3:30 PM each day
Cost: $120 per person, plus applicable fees
Registration is limited to 12 people; 5 people are required to run the workshop. Must be 18+ and proficient with hand sewing.
