SUMMARY:Dione Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Please welcome our guest artist for October\, stained glass Artist\, Dione Roberts of D & J Glass. \nDione Roberts\nArtist’s Biography\nDione Roberts was born in Billings\, Montana and has lived there all her life.  Growing up in a house filled with kilns allowed her to experiment with melting glass\, stretching bottles and making jewelry and glass tiles at an early age.  She began designing and fabricating stained glass in 1980 and continues to make originally designed fused glass\, stained glass and mosaics.  \nMuch of her fused and painted glass work reflects her Montana roots.  The Montana landscape\, wheat\, and crows as well as fantastical fish are often her subject matter.  Adding texture through the use of ground glass in the forms of frit\, powders and strings of glass are an important part of her work and she creates many elements using torches and heat.  Pieces are fired multiple times at temperatures reaching 1500 degrees.  She also works in a reverse fired enamel technique where designs and patterns are painted on the back of the glass\, a technique that takes up to 8 twelve-hour firings.   \nIn her studio\, she works with clients to make originally designed pieces of glass art for their homes.   \nHer work can be seen at The Frame Hut in Billings\, Montana.+ \n

SUMMARY:Susan Leaverton - Guest Artist
DESCRIPTION:Weaving is very contemplative. The process focuses one’s thoughts\, through repetitive manual motions. I use only quality fibers\, primarily natural wool\, cotton\, silk\, and linen. I like to consider my work straight-forward and honest. Nothing is computer generated. Sometimes the results are successful; sometimes the piece just does not work. But each time a weaving is cut from the loom it is a moment of truth. Finishing techniques can also make\, or break\, the end result. \nEach warp is woven with the hope that what emerges will bring happiness to the person who acquires the finished item. The process is a basic reminder of how all of our lives are woven together on earth. \n–Susan Leaverton \nA vision and a passion!\nMy love of weaving began a long time ago during college days at Syracuse University. As a Fabric Design major\, weaving quickly became a consuming focus. I continue to be intrigued by the effects of color and texture as fibers interact with each other. \nIndividual yarns come together on my looms as they form unique fabrics intended for both functional and decorative use. The beauty of the Absaroka-Beartooth Mountains and all of Montana’s glorious vistas remain a constant source of inspiration in my life and my textile work. \nI use 4 harness hand operated looms to create fabrics\, combining primarily natural fibers such as wool\, cotton\, silk and linen. Accents of tencel\, bamboo\,  metallic and other novelty threads offer variety. \nProduct lines include traditional scarves\, table runners\, shawls and wall hangings. A signature item for 53 years has been my ubiquitous wool Lambscapes© which have found their way around the world as ambassadors of Montana. These original designs never fail to bring smiles and serve as reminders of peace\, love and hope. Nothing wrong with that! Of course a few Llamascapes© and Alpacascapes© join in the fun. \nBrief general bio info:\nBorn in Baltimore MD 1948\nRec’d Bachelor of Arts (Fabric Design) from Syracuse University\, NY\nRec’d Master of Arts (Art History\, Medieval Art) from Penn State\, State College PA\nThesis on the Great East Window of York Minster\, England\nLived in MD until 2006 when Susan moved with her husband\, Robert\, to MT.\nThey were brought to Montana because of Robert’s first call as an ELCA Lutheran Pastor in Absarokee. \nAfter many years selling artist supplies\, traveling\, and working in Customer Service at FedEx in MD\, she has enjoyed a wide variety of employment in MT: church admin assistant\, Lutheran Lay Pastor\, census taker\, school lunch line lady\, youth mentor\, mail carrier\, retail sales\, teacher of French & American Sign Language to elementary age children and more…. \nInterests:\nFiber projects\, specifically weaving\, knitting and sewing\n38 years participating in the MD Sheep + Wool Festival\, & vendor committee chair\nIndependent international travel (Europe\, China\, Bolivia etc)\nHorse riding\, hiking\, reading\, sketching \nSome of Susan’s work:
