SUMMARY:Scherenschnitte Valentine’s Day Card-making Workshop for Kids
DESCRIPTION:According to Quiet Valley Historical Farm in Stroudsburg\, PA\, “Scherenschnitte (pronounced something like Sharon-Sh-knit-a) is the German and Pennsylvania German tradition of cutting paper. Traditionally\, these paper designs were done by folding the paper and cutting to make a continuous design similar to the childhood craft of creating paper snowflakes or paper dolls that hold hands.” \nOn Saturday\, Feb. 5\, from 11 a.m.–12 p.m.\, Wilton Historical Society will be offering a Valentine’s Day card-making workshop for kids\, featuring scherenschnitte and its popular hearts and flowers motifs. The workshop will be led by Museum Educator Catherine Lipper\, who will talk about the history and customs of Valentine’s Day and its rise in popularity during the Victorian age\, and\, of course\, scherenschnitte. Kids will make their own Valentine cards and heart-shaped sugar cookies with a scherenschnitte-inspired decoration. Sweet! \nSuggested for ages 6-10. Members: $10 per child; Non-members $15 per child. \nDid You Know?\n“In the beginning\, scherenschnitte were often used as decorative pieces for birth certificates\, love letters\, and marriage certificates. These tended to incorporate flowers\, birds\, and hearts. Since paper was originally expensive\, old letters or newspapers were often used. This offers some unique insight into the lives of the people who made them. During the Victorian Era\, scherenschnitte was used to make shelf paper for cupboards\, cake doilies\, or table decor. \nScherenschnitte can also create a picture or tell a story. For the Germans\, many of the picture cutouts were based on folk tales. These images usually featured people and activities\, which shares a lot in common with the French tradition of silhouette cuts. Silhouettes\, white images on black paper\, were often inexpensive forms of art work. They were far less costly than paintings.” — Quiet Valley Historical Farm\, Stroudsburg\, PA

SUMMARY:Ukrainian Egg (Pysanky) Decorating Workshop for Adults and Kids
DESCRIPTION:Learn the colorful and venerable craft of decorating eggs in the Ukrainian style\, known as pysanky (the name is derived from the Ukrainian verb meaning to write). Expert egg decorator Susan Clark will lead the Wilton Historical Society‘s workshop for adults and children. This ancient craft uses symbols and motifs to create a jewel-like egg. Intricate designs can be created with geometric forms\, or with more naturalistic\, flowing patterns. Participants will be using a kistka\, a pointed implement a bit like a pen\, filled with beeswax and heated\, to draw designs on the eggs between bathing them in colored dye. Decorate eggs in a traditional design\, or create your own. \nThe workshop is strictly limited to 20 participants. The program will take place in the Abbott Barn. Family groups will be seated together.  The fee — $30 for Wilton Historical Society members\, $40 for non-members — is per participant and includes materials. The program is suitable for adults and children ages 9 and up. \nRegistration is required via email or by calling 203.762.7257.

SUMMARY:Storytelling through Puppetry\, Quilt Codes and Writing Out Loud: A Celebration of Wilton Reads
DESCRIPTION:There are many ways to tell Wilton’s stories\, both real and imagined\, including puppetry\, quilt codes and “writing out loud”. With a nod to well-known Wilton children’s book authors and illustrators like Ingri and Edgar D’Aulaire\, Johnny Gruelle\, E. Boyd Smith\, and Lillian Hoban\, Wilton Historical Society presents “Spring Into Wilton’s Stories!” on Saturday\, May 7 from 2 – 4. The family-focused afternoon will feature the marvelous Adelka of Sova Dance and Puppet Theater\, who will perform two original\, interactive puppet shows loosely based on stories by Wilton children’s book authors and illustrators. Kids will be able to join in a puppet making activity and learn about other ways stories are told. Skilled demonstrator Candiss Cowan will show how special patterns in quilts – “quilt codes” – were an important way to guide enslaved people to freedom via the Underground Railroad\, and explain the stories hidden in the designs. Kids can try their hand at a quilt code activity\, too. Josh Shelov of Written Out Loud will be on hand to add to the storytelling fun. His interactive workshop sparks creativity through collaborative “writing out loud” which he will present in a fun game show style format. Josh is an Emmy-winning screenwriter and filmmaker who has made multiple films in Hollywood\, and teaches storytelling at Yale. \nPuppet shows will take place in the Abbott Barn at 2:30 and 3:30. \nEvent admission: Free for Wilton Historical Society members; Non-members $10 per person\, adult or child. \nPuppetry is Storytelling!\nAdelka Polak is founder and artistic director of Sova Dance & Puppet Theater\, based in Connecticut\, mainly serving schools\, arts venues and community organizations in New England and NYC\, including recent performances at Madison Square Park and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Polak is a dancer\, puppeteer\, mask-performer and movement director whose work has brought her to Denmark\, Bulgaria\, the Czech Republic\, Taiwan\, Scotland and Turkey. She was featured on CPTV’s “Spotlight on the Arts” with Masque Theatre and Larry Hunt in a segment nominated for a cultural Emmy in 2010. \nPolak shares her knowledge of dance\, puppetry and crossing artistic disciplines with audiences across the U.S. and abroad. She has worked with children across CT to make more than 5\,000 frog puppets since 2016 mainly through Hartford Performs. She also teaches with Z. Briggs and the Jim Henson Foundation in a contract with the VSA Kennedy Center program in order to train educators how to use puppetry in the classroom. She has worked as a professional puppeteer for nearly two decades. \nQuilts are Storytelling!\nBefore the Civil War\, more than 100\,000 enslaved people escaped to safety in the north via the Underground Railroad. This was an organized group of abolitionists and already escaped slaves who risked their freedom and their lives to bring others to freedom. But how to communicate with potential travelers who could not read? How to guide them? One way was through the use of quilts and the codes in their patterns. Quilt designs or blocks all have names that are used universally. These names have meaning. Quilt blocks were made into signs and maps to help lead the enslaved to freedom. Some purist historians say this is just “folklore” because it was never “proven”. Quilters will tell you that the fact that it was never proven is exactly the point. The quilts were such clever designs that no one could prove how they were being used. They were “Hidden in Plain Sight”. \nWriting is Storytelling!\nOriginally taught as a seminar at Yale University\, and now\, mentored by Hollywood and publishing professionals\, Written Out Loud combines group brainstorming sessions with individual writing missions. Kid’s writing skills will grow by leaps and bound\, along with courage\, collaborative spirit\, and empathy. \nJosh Shelov\, founder and CEO of Written Out Loud\, is an Emmy-winning screenwriter and filmmaker who has made multiple films in Hollywood\, starring Neil Patrick Harris\, Amy Sedaris\, Elijah Wood\, and others\, as well as multiple ESPN “30 for 30” documentaries. He has taught storytelling as an adjunct professor at Yale. Some of his favorite authors and illustrators are Ingri and Edgar D’Aulaire of Wilton and their stories of Greek and Norse mythology!
