Christine Roberts

I moved from Toronto to the Bancroft area in my early 20s, where my husband and I raised 2 children. It was there that I got very involved with their growing arts community. After 33 years in Bancroft, we discovered Elliot Lake.

I have been a member of the Elliot Lake Arts Club for 17 years. When I first arrived I was mainly a weaver and a master spinner, so I was very happy to find a busy weaving studio.

After a while I tried pottery, painting, printing, stained glass then finally copper enamelling.

I had discovered the joys of being part of a multi-discipline Arts Club.

I love them all, but for now have settled into the stained glass and copper enamelling studios. At home I’m still a fibre person with spinning, bobbin lace and needle felting. I sell some of my work at the Club’s various Show & Sales throughout the year and have, over the years, given various workshops, enjoy doing demos and at present I’m taking my turn as president of the Arts Club.
