Becky Rehl’s lifelong affinity for color and design flourished when she first became heavily involved with Folklore Village in the late 1970’s. Meeting and learning from a wide range of traditional folk artists led to a deep respect and appreciation for folk music, dance, and the arts. Over the years, she has moved from creating in a strictly traditional style, to combining traditional techniques with her own design elements. Through her creative business outlet Folksnips, Becky offers both traditional style and custom designed cutouts and hearts, as well as fabric creations.
Where others often find intricate paper cutting and weaving to be tedious, Becky finds it therapeutic. Her seemingly endless patience is key to both the creation and the teaching of these folk arts. She has taught folk crafts, as well as music and dance, to thousands of school children, and has led paper folk art workshops for families and teachers, at Folklore Village and at UW Milwaukee Stringalongs.
Becky is also the Office Manager at Folklore Village.
