BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is proud to present
<i>Sailors’ Valentines</i> a lecture with artist Gregg Roberts <b>Monday,
June 11, 2018 at 1pm.<br>
<br>
</b> Cape Cod native and <i>Sailors’ Valentines</i> award winning
artist, Gregg Roberts, is a singer, poet and self-taught artisan.
Gregg's sailors' valentines are done in the rustic style originally
attributed to the craft. Working in a restored vintage carriage house on
Main Street in Cotuit, he lays out shells of various sizes, shapes and
colors in a design contained within a hand-crafted mahogany box. The box
is most often eight-sided and he frequently incorporates sailor's knots
in his designs as the early versions would have had.<br>
<br>
Join Gregg as he sits before his stunning Naturescape Gallery exhibit and
explains and demonstrates the ancient craft of Sailors’ Valentines.<br>
