Artist of the month:
Susan Burkhart

Susan is on CAC’s marketing committee and helps with the newsletter and graphics for events and shows. She also teaches jewelry and metal smithing classes at the gallery.

Susan has been obsessed with making things her entire life. From home economics classes, craft clubs, and camps as a child to classes with professional artists today, she rarely encounters a craft she doesn’t want to try. She is a self taught scroll saw woodworker which is the primary focus of her business, “Ooh Look, It’s a Rabbit!” Designs. Discovering the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee led to “the rabbit hole” of jewelry construction and design and a passion for metal smithing.

When she is not crafting, she is out at local parks looking for geocaches or birds.

HARRY WEBER STUDIO FIELD TRIP
By the invitation of sculptor Harry Weber, sixteen members of the Crossroads Arts Council found themselves in Mr.Weber’s studio on November 10, staring at a larger than life clay rendition of Jeffrey Bonner, his current subject. Mr. Bonner will be retiring at the end of the year, after serving as president and CEO of the St. Louis Zoo since 2002.
An hour was quickly spent listening to anecdotes of various commissions of work and listening how each step of his process and materials have changed throughout his long successful career. Thank you, Harry, for sharing your art, home, and philosophy.
