About this experience

Step into the warmth of an old-world Yule tradition and create a beautiful Yule Log to welcome the return of the light.

Join us for a cozy afternoon of crafting, storytelling, and seasonal magic. Using a real birch log, candle holders (candles included), and an abundant selection of natural materials—including fresh evergreens, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, pinecones, dried botanicals, and more—you'll create a one-of-a-kind centerpiece to enjoy throughout the holiday season.

You're also welcome to bring meaningful items from home to make it uniquely yours.

But this class is about more than crafting.

As we create together, you'll discover the heart of Yule—its ancient traditions, symbols, and folklore. We'll explore why evergreens, candles, feasting, and the Yule Log became powerful symbols of hope, protection, abundance, and the returning sun during the darkest time of the year.

Whether you're brand new to Yule or reconnecting with old traditions, you'll leave with:

·       A handcrafted Yule Log to treasure for the season or years to come.

·       A deeper understanding of Yule's customs and meaning.

·       New ways to bring warmth, intention, and seasonal magic into your own home.

 

A light European-style appetizer board will be provided, creating the perfect cozy atmosphere to relax, create, and connect with fellow makers.

 

No crafting experience is needed. All supplies are included.
