Family Valentine Fun

WATERBURY — Get ready for fun that the whole family can enjoy when The Mattatuck Museum Arts & History Center hosts “Be My Valentine: Valentine’s Day Through the Ages” on Sunday, February 14, from 1 to 3 pm. The workshop will be led by Deborah Lasher, an experienced art teacher who works with kindergarten through sixth grade students at Artsplace in Cheshire. Ms Lasher is a graduate of the University of Connecticut, specializes in colored pencils, and loves working with children who are naturally open to creativity. She has chosen crafts that all family members can enjoy doing together.

Antique valentines from the museum’s collections will provide a glimpse into Valentine’s Days gone by.

The Valentine’s Day celebration is part of Museum Sunday and admission is free for everyone. An art gallery tour will begin at 1 pm, followed by a tour of the history gallery at 2. Other current exhibits include “Banded Together: The Story of the Naugatuck Valley Project” and “The Waterbury Button Museum.”
