For example, brushing a handkerchief across one\u2019s cheek meant \u201cI love you,\u201d while twisting it in one\u2019s right hand meant \u201cI love another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Combining the language of handkerchiefs and Victorian women\u2018s enjoyment of creating all sorts of decorative projects, participants will create a Victorian Handkerchief Valentine. Modern materials and reproductions of Victorian scrap images will be used at the workshop.<\/p>\n<p>Victorian scrap images were colorful, detailed, raised images that depicted a range of subjects from children, animals, flowers, angels, and ladies. These scraps were also commonly used in a very popular Victorian hobby called scrapbooking.<\/p>\n<p>Join instructor Pamela Vogan Lynch as she leads this Valentine workshop. Lynch is a professional artist and retired Director of Art for the Oneida City School District with 35 years of experience in art education. All materials will be provided. For those who have a special handkerchief that they would like to use, it\u2019s encouraged to bring it with you.<\/p>\n<p>In true Victorian fashion, tea and cookies will be served.<\/p>\n<p>The cost for the workshop is $14 for MCHS members and $16 for nonmembers. Registration is required by Feb. 10.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact MCHS at 315-363-4136, 315-361-9735, or <a href=\"mailto:history@mchs1900.org\" target=\"_blank\">history@mchs1900.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Oneida, NY \u2013 Jan. 2016) To celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day, the Madison County Historical Society will hold a Heritage Handicraft Valentine Workshop for adults and children aged 10 years and up from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday Feb. 13.\u00a0 Participants will be creating their very own Victorian Handkerchief Lady.
