Advent Art Making as Spiritual Practice: Luminarias

Advent is a season of waiting; we move through darkness toward the light of Christmas. Explore artmaking as a spiritual practice and create your own cut-paper luminaria. No previous experience with art or contemplation is necessary, only curiosity and a willingness to engage the creative process.
