About

Create a felt bird sewing case in this fun workshop at Wakefield Museum, perfect to keep all your essential sewing supplies to hand.


Discover the story of local woman Mary Frances Heaton, who was wrongly institutionalised in the 1800s. She told her story through sewing samplers.


This workshop will take place in the Learning Zone, inside Wakefield Library (upper ground floor of Wakefield One).
