Morning with Megan: Victorian Puzzle Purse Workshop

Monthly Workshop Series Continues! Saturday, February 14, 2026 10 AM - 12 PM Register Today!

Join us this Winter 2026 at the Cultural Center as our new “Morning with Megan” workshop series continues into the new year!

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a touch of historic charm! Join us for a special Morning with Megan workshop—held during our annual Hygge Market—as Artistic Director Megan Shirley-Ross guides participants through creating a Victorian-inspired puzzle purse keepsake.

Puzzle purses (also known as folding love letters) were popular in the Victorian era and often used to share heartfelt messages in a beautifully decorative form. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create your own puzzle purse to gift to someone special or keep as a meaningful personal treasure.

No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and creative spirit.
