Crafting Sailor's Valentines: Myth and Artistry
Found in Ima Hogg’s art collection, sailor’s valentines may look like floral arrangements, but they are really made from hundreds of shells! Contrary to Victorian myth, “sailor’s valentines” were likely not hand crafted by lonely sailors at sea but rather craftspeople—specifically Barbadian women. Discover the hidden stories of these craftswomen, consider how myths develop, and make a sailor valentine of your own.
