Chrismon Ornament Making at Cognition

Description

Join instructors Linda Dorsett and Mandy Plyler on December 3rd at 2pm to learn the art of making Chrismons. "Chrismon" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "monogram," the combination translating to "symbols of Christ." Chrismons were established in 1957 by Frances Kipps Spencer of Ascension Lutheran Church in Danville, VA. In an effort to create appropriate decorations for her church's Christmas tree, Spencer used white and gold beads (symbolizing purity & majesty) to turn centuries-old designs into elegant ornaments. Due to the delicate nature of these ornaments, this class is for adults only. Registration is $5 for members and $10 for non-members, and spots are limited!
