The Free Library is Hosting a Gingerbread House Workshop Hosted By Actual Architects
Here’s a fun and creative event for a date night or Q.T with the family, the Free Library is hosting a very unique gingerbread house workshop on December 20th 6-8 pm.
What better way to show your love for the Free Library (1901 Vine Street.) than recreating your branch as a gingerbread house? In this workshop, open to adults and families, representatives from the Philadelphia Center for Architecture and Design Education Department will present the architectural wonders of the Parkway Central Library as guests decorate gingerbread replicas.
Participants will learn fundamental architectural and design elements as well as the history of the 25 Carnegie libraries, funded by the philanthropist from 1906 to 1930. They will also learn basic piping and decorating techniques; each ticket supplies a large cookie canvas to recreate the iconic facades and display for the holiday season.
Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased here. All proceeds from ticket sales go towards supporting the Culinary Literacy’s Center programs for youth, neighborhood engagement, and English language learning.Free tickets are available for SNAP eligible families and for anyone who cannot afford the fee right now but would still like to participate.
