Warm Hands, Warm Hearts: Community Mitt Making

In-Person

Come make mittens for the community with us. In this two-session workshop, leather artist Sheila Cailleau will guide participants to make warm mitts for those in need using re-purposed clothing. To complete a pair of mitts, please attend both dates. All supplies provided.

Mittens will be donated to an agency for community members in need. If you need the mitts for yourself, let staff know on the first day.

Presented in partnership with the C2 Centre for Craft.

  • Duplicate registrations for the same name will be cancelled.
  • The Library reserves the right to limit the number of program attendees.
  • Family programs including Baby Rhyme Time, Toddler Time, Family Story Time, and 3-5 with a caregiver programs are an opportunity for caregivers to participate together with their child in the program.
  • School age programs are for children ages 6-8, 6-12, or 9-12. Children attend on their own unless otherwise indicated. Teen programs are for ages 13-17.
  • Programs with children ages 11 and younger require a caregiver to remain in the library during the program. In the absence of a caregiver, the Library does not assume responsibility for a child.
