SUMMARY:November Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Sandra Drabant
DESCRIPTION:November 2026 Artist of the Month: Sandra Drabant \nExhibit Title: Where the Brush Leads: Spontaneous and Intuitive Paintings \n\nSandra Drabant earned a BA in Fine Art and a Graduate Diploma in Education in Australia\, followed by a Master’s in Art Therapy from the University of Illinois Chicago. She currently works as an art therapist at Michigan Medicine and has exhibited in solo\nand group shows in Australia and the United States. \nArtist Statement \nThis body of work is a series of paintings that evolved from an intuitive process. My paintings take shape without any predetermined plan and develop by spontaneous response and choice\, often relying on my instincts to guide the work. This process is creatively freeing as there is no “right or wrong”\, just what intuitively feels harmonious to me in the moment. \nThese paintings are layered canvases of color and texture. The surprise of this intuitive process is an engaging and imaginative experience that has revealed images of nature\, symbolizing concepts such as growth\, change\, life\, death\, spirituality and the passage of time. \nWebsite: https://arteverafter.com/

SUMMARY:Crazy Wisdom Makers Circle: Crafting the Wheel of the Year
DESCRIPTION:Besom (Broom) \nAs the season turns from fall towards winter we reach the traditional end of the year in Celtic traditions. The end of harvest and in preparation for winter marked the time to “sweep out the old and welcome the new”. In November’s class we will bundle together branches with colorful thread\, beads\, charms\, and yarn.  We will discuss color and symbols for manifesting the energy you wish to attract to your home and to help you sweep away any negative energies from the previous year. \nJoin us bi-monthly for a crafting circle inspired by the eight sabbats of the Wheel of the Year. In each session\, we’ll create a seasonal craft rooted in the traditions\, symbols\, and energy of the coming holiday\, drawing inspiration from books like Crafting the Wheel of the Year\, The Wheel of the Year: An Illustrated Guide to Nature’s Rhythms\, and The Natural Home Wheel of the Year. \nExpect an easy hands-on project each session\, ready to take home or finish up later with confidence. Projects shift with the season: seasonal wreath making\, witches’ bells\, blooming floral charms\, garden-harvested potions\, crocheted pieces\, pocket altars\, beadwork\, and other crafted adornments. No experience necessary. All materials and skill levels welcome. \nHost \nJen Hoyer has been crafting since she was a girl\, when her grandmother taught her the magic of crochet and sewing. She spent over five years teaching sewing\, crochet\, and craft classes to adults and children at JoAnn Fabrics\, and has taught private sewing lessons\, led needlework classes for Girl Scout troops\, and volunteered teaching crochet at the Cancer Support Center of Ann Arbor. Jen loves helping crafters of all ages discover new skills. Jen has been celebrating the seasons with her family and following Pagan traditions for over 30 years\, and enjoys creating and learning new crafts for embracing the spirit of the seasons. \nUpcoming Events: \nJanuary 7\, 2027 – Crochet Crystal Holder \nMarch 4\, 2027 – Wand \nMay 6\, 2027 – Macrame Meditation Charm \nCost varies per class. Pre-registration required. Limited class size.
