ABOUT THE ART-MAKING ACTIVITY: Hanukkah is one of many festivals of light being celebrated at this time of year, and one in which we use a special “helper” candle (called the Shamash) to spread the light to other candles. Inspired by the Edith Wharton quote “there are two ways of spreading light, to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it,” the artists invites your to design a mini LED candle holder and coaster to brighten your spirit as you consider how you spread your light with others. Come for a few minutes or stay for as long as you like.
