https://uuwausau.org/event/light-in-the-dark-art/As winter approaches, we turn our attention to the cycles of light and darkness: to what shines, what rests, and the quiet transformations that happen in the stillness of the season.
Choose a project that calls to you:
Garland with Dried Oranges – craft fragrant, sun-kissed strands that celebrate the returning light.
Paper Stars – fold and decorate celestial shapes to honor the sparkle of long winter nights.
Winter Collage – build layered scenes of trees, wildlife, and snow, capturing the serene beauty of winter.
Salt Watercolor: Light & Darkness – crystalline patterns, like frost or stars emerging in the dark, as salt meets watercolor, reflecting the season’s quiet transformation and the return of light.
Each project invites you to reflect on the returning light, the stillness and beauty of winter, and the quiet renewal that comes with the season. Like the season itself, our creations may be layered, luminous, and full of wonder—an offering to the world around and within us as it slowly turns toward light.
Our Saturday Art Gatherings welcome artists, crafters, and creative beginners alike, and are open to adults and teens. We provide examples, gentle guidance, and a variety of supplies to spark your process. Participants are also welcome to bring materials from home to use or share at our community resource table!
