Victorian Kissing Ball Workshop–November 30, 10:00-12:00

Victorian Kissing Ball Workshop

Join us for a delightful journey back in time at our Victorian Kissing Ball Workshop! During this festive hands-on crafting session, participants will explore the charming tradition of creating kissing balls, beautiful holiday decorations that embodied romance and joy during the Victorian era and led to the modern tradition of hanging mistletoe. During this 2-hour workshop, participants will enjoy a cup of cheer and learn about different types of traditional greens as they create their own kissing ball! All supplies necessary for the craft will be provided.

The historic Cappon House was the home of Holland's first mayor and local tannery proprietor, Isaac Cappon. Built in 1874, it is now partially restored to its appearance in 1900. Visitors to the Cappon House step back in time, immersing themselves in the stories of Isaac Cappon and his large family.
