The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents

Sailors’ Valentines
A Lecture
with artist Gregg Roberts


BREWSTER, MA ­ The Cape Cod Museum of Natural 
History is proud to present Sailors’ Valentines a 
lecture with artist Gregg Roberts Monday, June 11, 2018 at 1pm.

  Cape Cod native and Sailors’ Valentines 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.

Join Gregg as he sits before his stunning 
Naturescape Gallery exhibit and explains and 
demonstrates the ancient craft of Sailors’ Valentines.


  Free with Museum Admission
