Discover a unique folk art form popularized during the age of whaling. Seeing examples from our collection, find out how whalers carved teeth, bone, and baleen into beautiful works of art with hidden meanings, and create scrimshaw-style art on a keepsake box.

This is a grab-and-go program. Materials can be picked up beginning July 10th. An instructional video will also be emailed to all registrants on July 10th.
