Sailors’ Valentines are a form of sea shell art, popular in the 1800s, when sailors brought them home to their loved ones. Most Sailors’ Valentines were made in the West Indies, on the island of Barbados, between 1830 and 1880, but production continued into the early 20th century.
The workshop will take place at Penobscot Marine Museum, 2 Church St., Searsport. Click here to register.
