Sponsored by Arts Olympia, the gallery will be open Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., November 13 through December 19. The show will include a free drawing of original art and portrait sketches by AO members. Visitors can explore a festive selection of 2D and 3D artwork, including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, along with thoughtfully crafted holiday gifts priced under $50. It’s a wonderful opportunity to find meaningful, locally sourced treasures while supporting the creative community. The gallery is located at 119 Washington Street NE, Olympia, WA 98501, at the corner of Washington and State Streets.

We invite you on a journey w/ Tania L. Yager, Artist and Author of the book ‘The Allure of Dark Winter Spirits’ into the enchanting world of La Befana, the beloved Italian Christmas Witch whose folklore has been passed through generations for centuries. More than a seasonal figure, La Befana represents wisdom, household magic, ancestral traditions, and the enduring spirit of winter celebrations.

In this immersive lecture and hands-on workshop, participants will explore the history, mythology, regional traditions, and magical symbolism surrounding Italy’s most cherished winter folk figure. Drawing from historical folklore, folk magic practices, and seasonal customs, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of La Befana’s role within Italian cultural heritage and contemporary magical traditions.

Following the lecture and discussion, participants will create their own miniature Befana-inspired besom  (broom) to take home as a charm of cleansing, protection, blessing, and seasonal renewal. This experience combines education, folklore, creativity, and practical magic in a welcoming and accessible format suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Registration options include the workshop alone or a workshop package with a signed copy of The Allure of Dark Winter Spirits.
