Join us to celebrate Yule, the longest night of the year. Yule celebrates the return of the sun, taking place at the winter solstice when the sun appears to stand still just before the days begin to lengthen once again. Join us after the service for cider and cookies in the lobby.
I have often heard that question, “Why do UUs Celebrate Christmas?” I can’t speak for other Unitarian Universalists, but I can speak for this one Religious Humanist Unitarian Universalist.
Through December, the Gallery will continue to feature Wearables, an eclectic mix of wearable art from earrings to finely woven ponchos. This show is being presented with gift giving in mind whether a gift for yourself or to someone special on your list. As members of church you have the opportunity to visit the gallery after services each Sunday, but you might want to circle Friday, December 6 on your calendar for a wine reception from 5 to 7 pm. It’s a nice prelude for dinner out. We join other galleries in Las Cruces for First Friday each month. This will be an opportunity to visit with the artists and ask questions. A couple or the artists will provide a glimpse into their artistic process.
Friday, December 6, wine reception from 5 to 7 PM
Since the 1970s Ann Angelo has been pushing the boundaries of macramé, tie dying and felting. Today, she uses her own hand dyed fabric to create wall hangings, collages and wearable art with a unique and contemporary emphasis. Kathy Baker is a self-taught fiber artist and potter. She specializes in loom beaded and woven jewelry, often incorporating ceramic beads and cabochons of her own design. Leslie Toombs paints on silk creating scarves and handcrafted blouses. Michelle Arterburn designs one-of-a-kind earrings, necklaces and bracelets using kiln fired porcelain and metals. Two of the artists, Rev. Nancy Anderson and Carol Casavant are both weavers and members of our congregation. Nancy creates woven wearables on her loom, often from silk yarns. She extends the limits of what is possible with her own designs. Carol has been weaving for over 20 years. Her art includes scarves, purses, wine carriers and tote bags.
The Tombaugh Gallery will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 AM until 2 PM and Sundays 11:30 AM until 2 PM. The Gallery is located at 2000 S Solano Drive inside the Unitarian Universalist Church. For details, email or call the church office at 575-522-7281.
