Artist of the month:
Lois Jacobs
 
"Papermaking is my passion and has been for over 25 years! Being retired from teaching, I can now pursue my passion. Through earlier classes with Melanie McDaniels, Tom Lang and Sherri Jaude, I further explored the processes of paper making and combined them with jewelry. I fell in love with the combination. Wanting to incorporate my papermaking with the metals, I developed miniature “word” books in which the papers were large enough for only one drawn word and the covers were metal. I also continue my fascination of ideas with my larger art pieces. Being an avid gardener, I had many plants to choose from as I continued to explore possibilities as I produced large scale papers which I exhibited into juried shows at The St. Louis Artists’ Guild and Art St. Louis. I loved it all but am now pursuing my life-long passion of papermaking with all its possibilities! "

My artwork can be found at the following studios: Lillian Yahn Gallery, Bluestem Missouri Crafts or H-art and Soul Gallery.

  • Crossroads Arts Council encourages you to help our local food pantries. Please consider creating a Birthday Cake Box. The items are simple and will help a family make a loved one's birthday very special.

  • This easy cake recipe includes using Spite (or a similar soft drink) instead of eggs and oil. It is easy to make and will serve families that have special dietary needs.

  • Please drop off your Birthday Cake Box at the art gallery Thurs. - Sun. 11-3 by Oct. 29th or bring it with you when you attend our Nov. 2nd Members & Guest meeting at the WREC.

  • Thank you for helping our food pantries.
