Ink & Independence

Mon, Feb 16 | Drop In 11-1pm 

From whalers’ hands to the Oval Office, scrimshaw has a surprising but strong patriotic story! In honor of America’s 250th, explore how American whalers used whalebone to show pride in our country’s liberty. See historic examples from the museum’s ​collection, then sketch, etch, and ink your own scrimshaw-style ​keepsake with your own creativity! No Registration Required.
