We shall embark upon an exploration of the early stages of whaling and the utilization of whaling products, particularly in the realm of ladies’ fashion. As the day progresses, our artistic endeavors will lead us to paint a tranquil and serene snowfall landscape.

As we embrace the day of Thursday, the 22nd of February, our educational odyssey continues with an in-depth focus on the Whaling Industry, particularly the local whaling scene, including the renowned New Bedford Industry. Furthermore, we shall be enraptured by the captivating story of the Last Voyage of Charles W. Morgan. A delightful afternoon awaits us as we engage in the art of simulating scrimshaw during our craft session.
