An Evening in Glass

Local Glass Artists Lois Keister and Kathy Burk

April 17, 6pm at the Sheridan Library

The Friends of the Sheridan Library will host An Evening in Glass featuring local fused glass artists Lois Keister and Kathy Burk on Thursday, April 17, 6pm at the Sheridan Library. The program is free and open to the public.

Fused glass, an art form dating back to ancient times, involves layering clear and colored glass at high temperatures, mixing colors and building images through successive layers until a desired effect is achieved.

Lois Keister, www.highlonesomeglass.com, creates both display pieces and functional objects, inspired by stories and images of a Long-Ago West, and Kathy Burk, www.kathyburk.com, creates kiln-fired glass pieces, mosaics and lighting based on the rich details of Montana land and history. They will display examples of their art, talk about their process and inspiration and answer questions.

For more information, please contact William Talbott at the Sheridan Library, (406) 842-5770.

The Friends of the Sheridan Public Library believe a library’s books and publications… help us escape from where we are to far away places…entertain us with stories and comedy…teach us compassion and bring us new human connections. A library is a technological resource, a community internet connection, and a creative hub as well as a place for all ages and interests. Our library provides a cozy warm environment where people can gather and discuss, and where quiet and contemplation are respected. All are welcome here.
