Yule Log Workshop

Sunday, December 15 @ 1pm

Back by popular demand! Join us for a morning of crafting as you create-your-own holiday yule log (real wood, not the cake)! During this workshop, we will discuss the origins behind this ancient tradition, as well as the significant meanings of the elements used to create your yule log.
Materials included (but not limited to):
• variety of pre-cut and drilled 14″ to 16” wood logs
• fresh evergreens, herbs, pine cones, etc…
• cinnamon sticks, orange slices & cloves
• ribbon
• tapered candles (3 per yule log)
Feel free to forage and bring your own natural elements, especially if there is something that has a special meaning to you or your family (such as a sprig from a tree or other plant).
You can use your yule log as a centerpiece for your holiday events and/or celebrate the winter solstice in a traditional way by burning on the evening of the solstice (Dec 21st). It can be alternatively burned on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve.
