An English class where you get to learn about book history AND bind your own books? Sign us up! University of Toronto ‘s Claire Battershill shares the importance of material exploration in the classroom in this bonus episode of #VictorianSamplings

This is it! The season finale of #VictorianSamplings ! Join us for a very special episode with our fearless project leads (Vanessa Warne Andrea Korda and Mary Elizabeth Leighton) and 2021-22 research assistants. This is one you won’t want to miss.

"I'm learning so much from them, from their deep engagement with one particular craft practice, about what this will bring to future students down the road" - Andrea Korda, project supervisor. Tune in to #VictorianSamplings for more reflections on the critical crafting project!

"One of the most lovely things I have found with crafting, and I think it's a common thread that goes through a lot of our experiences, are the opportunities and possibilities for community, and for relationship building centred around a craft" - #VictorianSamplings Season 3, E7

We are also looking forward to this event! Please join us on Thursday, Dec 14 to talk about creative teaching and learning in the humanities classroom. We'll be talking about writing, folding, and sealing letters and making rag rugs.
