Art in the Garden

Winter Solstice Suncatchers: Light We Can Hold Onto Throughout the Season

Join us for a free workshop where you’ll make a suncatcher to hang at home. You’ll decorate it with beads. Through the dark months ahead, it can remind you that there’s always light.

You’ll also write a note or manifestation and roll it into a scroll. It attaches to your piece, ready to open when spring arrives.

This event is part of Art in the Garden. Critically and creatively engage with a diversity of artmaking techniques that open you up to deeper dialogue on place and your lived environments.
