I have a friend new to clay who wants to take clay classes in the =3D
Chicago Ill. area.
She lives in northeast suburb of Lincolnshire near Highland Park, =3D
Bannockburn, Deerfield and Lake Forest.
So far she's taken one class and loves it. I knew she was serious when =3D
she cut her beautifully manicured nails.
She handbuilds but also wants to improve her skill on the wheel.
Any suggestions and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Send me the info and I'll forward it to her.
Thanks,

also an art center in downtown HPk. Barat College in Lake Forest used to

Moving south, a probably excellent alternative is Evanston Art Center. (I=

Further south is Lill Street Art Center on Ravenswood in Chicago proper.=3D=

It's a jaw-dropping facility - and their gallery shows excellent work. S=

teachers also have studios on the upper floors so one can see their work.=

In the opposite direction, there is (was?) a ceramic program @ Harper
College in Palatine and something further out NW toward Crystal Lake I
think. The ceramic teacher @ Harper may know about this.=3D20
I don't know current faculty @ any of these places but my network of frie=

Another source of info is Ceramic Supply Chicago on Pitner in Evanston - =
