The shortest day of the year is upon us, and that means it’s time to create our own light for the dark months ahead. Join us in making unique winter solstice lanterns - while we craft, we can also discuss the scientific reasons for shorter days and longer nights, as well as some of the ways humans celebrate the solstice around the world and throughout history.
