TAKE PART IN WINTER WINDOWS 2023!

Deadline for inclusion in the map is FRIDAY 10th NOVEMBER

We are so excited for our 5th Edition of Thornton Winter Windows!

This year Thornton Winter Windows will be part of BDisLit, where the village windows will be lit up using the theme set by artist @rosiemcandrew

If you would like to be part of lighting up Thornton then please email info@southsquarecentre.co.uk or call us at 01274834747

Rosie has set the theme to be ‘Apricity – the warmth of a beam of sunlight in Winter.’  Creating a contrast of warmth and cold, sun catchers,

You will create a window scene using this theme that can be displayed from 26th November until Christmas.

Some inspiration ideas below:

‘Apricity – the warmth of a beam of sunlight in Winter.’ 

Things to consider when decorating your window:

❄the contrast of warmth & cold 
– warm reds, oranges and yellows vs cold white, blue and purple colours.
– melting snow and ice imagery.
– Nature in winter, winter mornings/sunsets.

❄how can you use light in an interesting way?  
– if you have fairy lights in your window could you use a shiny object to bounce that light onto a different surface, or make a pattern? 

– prisms create rainbow colours when under a direct light, could that rainbow be a contrast to the white of snow? 

– What about shadows/shadow puppets? Lanterns? 

– Sun catcher mobiles could emphasise that light in your home during the short winter days.

❄materials to experiment with 
– tissue paper, coloured plastic film, mirrors/shiny objects, lights/fairy lights, prisms/faceted beads

Launch – Sunday 26th November, Members of the public will be able to pick up a trail map from South Square Centre and view the village’s festive creations including 3 window installations designed by Rosie at The Apothecary Gallery, Thornton Community Centre and Plenty at the Square 

Launch day will also be a day of festivities including our Makers Market, Thornton Lights switch on plus live music, mulled wine and hot chocolate at South Square! Free mulled wine or hot chocolate for participants!

If you would like to be part of lighting up Thornton then please email info@southsqaurecentre.co.uk or call us at 01274834747
