Tapestry Project
Symbols are powerful. For this congregation, one symbol that comes to mind is that of a tapestry; many separate threads that, woven together, create something beautiful and larger than any individual could be.
Pam Kent, our amazing resident weaver and fiber artist, and Rev. Michelle hatched an idea to create a group tapestry. Here’s how it worked: Each month we collected yarn, ribbons, and strips of fabric (18-24”) and Pam has woven them together in a rainbow tapestry (each of our UU principles is represented in rainbow colors). The completed tapestry is displayed on Art Wall in the Chapel.
