Step into winter’s wonder and mist among Hoyt Arboretum’s holly and evergreen collection. In this warm, family-friendly session, we’ll craft cards with intention—celebrating what we’re releasing, what we’re carrying forward, and what we hope to invite in the return of the light.
You will learn: Techniques for creative card-making using seasonal themes, how to embed intention, gratitude, or affirmations into your creations, as well as a gentle reflection on solstice energy and winter stillness.
You will leave with: A set of handmade cards for the holiday season, a clear vision of your hopes and intentions for the new year, and a sense of togetherness and warmth in community.
