Make & Sip: Wheel of the Year Class / June 19th
In this class, adults will create their own "Wheel of the Year," a symbolic and artistic representation of the eight Sabbats (seasonal festivals) that mark the changing seasons and celebrate nature's cycles. Using decoupage techniques, participants will combine layers of paper, mixed media, and natural elements to craft a Wheel that reflects their personal connection to the earth and the seasons. This hands-on class encourages self-reflection, creativity, and mindfulness as participants connect to the rhythms of nature through the art of decoupage. Through layering and texture, each Wheel will be a unique, meaningful piece of art that serves as a reminder of the seasonal cycles throughout the year. (Wine is included for participants 21 and over.)
What is a Wheel of the Year?
The Wheel of the Year is a symbolic calendar representing the annual cycle of seasons and nature's rhythms, observed in many pagan, Wiccan, and earth-based spiritual traditions. It consists of eight Sabbats (seasonal festivals) that mark the solstices, equinoxes, and the midpoints between them. These festivals—Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas (or Lughnasadh), Mabon, and Samhain—celebrate themes such as renewal, growth, harvest, and transformation, reflecting humanity's connection to the earth's cycles. The Wheel of the Year emphasizes mindfulness, seasonal awareness, and the balance between light and dark.
As a self-taught artist, Rebecca's work is largely influenced by her shared experience with humans and her love of the natural world. From a young age, life’s subtle nuances and turbulent extremes captivated her. After three decades of working as a social worker and registered nurse, she turned to art for her well-being and fell in love with acrylics, texture and a variety of surfaces. Inspired by the nature’s inviting colors and fanciful creatures, she strives to create pieces that evoke calm and candor transcending the harsh angles of our world. Her creations are easily recognizable because of the whimsical birds and ephemeral landscapes she frequently paints.
