Sailor Sweetheart boxes are a souvenir to be given to a loved one, originally made in Barbados between 1830 and 1900. These boxes are typically designed with shells glued onto a backing with heart or flower motifs and sentimental messages. In this workshop, design your own special keepsake for Mother’s Day out of recycled boxes. Participants will be provided with a variety of materials such as local shells, charms, collage papers, beads and flowers to create a unique memory. Each mother & child pair will receive a single Polaroid photo to keep inside your sweetheart box. Tuition and material fees are per person.


  • Reduced tuition rates on youth classes requires family level membership.
