Passover Programming: Afikoman Cover Workshop

Come and get ready for Passover by creating your own Afikoman cover (matzah cover) with Montreal-based seamstress Helen Frank.

Using upcycled fabrics and linens, participants will learn how to hand sew, embroider, and decorate their own Afikoman cover (matzah cover). The workshop will start with an embroidery lesson by Helen, who will be there to support you throughout and answer any questions as you create your special piece. All fabrics will be provided, as well as beads, embroidery floss, and other accoutrements, making your cover the perfect opportunity to add a personal flair to the passover seder table.

No prior sewing experience is necessary, and all levels are welcome. Due to the sewing supplies being used, this event is recommended for ages 12 and up.

$30 per person. All materials provided. Reserve your spot.
