February 14, 1826 Puzzle Purse made by an American gentleman; Metropolitan Museum of Art collection

Make a Victorian Puzzle Purse Valentine

Paper folding becomes a window into 19th-century creativity through the tradition of the Victorian puzzle purse, a playful object popular in the mid-1800s. This hands-on workshop explores how geometry and symmetry shape folded forms that reveal messages as they open. Guided by book arts specialist Kate Quimette, participants learn the basic structure before experimenting with words and images. – Recommended for teens and adults. Seats are limited.
