Advent windows #5

 Saltaire's Advent Windows #5

Quoting from the Advent Windows Facebook page: 'For the sixth year, one of the windows is an artwork by our friends at Rydals Museum in Sweden, created by Sjuhäradsform, a collaborative group of artisans from a part of Western Sweden. Their creation is called Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and depicts a starry sky as a common platform for peace and friendship. (Click that link and you can see all their windows too.)

Rydals Museum was formerly a mill and in 2019 we formed a partnership with them to help them create their own Living Advent Calendar. We have hosted each other's window designs every year since. This year we sent artwork to Sweden created with the help of visitors to our Winter Makers Fair back in October, which will light up on 7th December.

Thanks so much to the team at Rydals Museum and Sjuhäradsform for this lovely contribution to our advent trail. Sending Season's Greetings and our very best wishes to you all in Sweden!'

Then, a design 'inspired by that dreaded task of unravelling the pesky tangle of Christmas lights'.  These lights glowed and twinkled in a very festive manner. 

Thirdly, a simple but cheerful snowman, designed to spread Christmas cheer by putting a smile on everyone's faces.
