Hi All,
Please do you have any suggestions of ceramic places
to visit while I'm in Chicago in August?
I have a particular love of historical pottery but
I'll get to as many varied places as I can.
Thanks,
Jeanne W.

Not a Chicagoan here, but a frequent visitor.
Do NOT miss the Lill Street Gallery. It is a gallery, classroom and rented studio space. Used to be on Lill Street but has moved to, I think, Ravenswood.
The gallery has freqent changing exhibit of first-class work, and the student work also is well worth the look

Jeanne -

Lill St. Art Center is at Ravenswood and Montrose -
easily accessible by public transportation. Worth the
trip.

Downtown - Perimeter Gallery on Superior St. reps
Takaezu and other big names. Martha Schneider
Gallery, around the corner on Franklin, still shows a
few ceramics.

Art Institute is world class, particularly Fr.
Impressionists. Some Amer. ceramics in walkway near
Rice Wing entrance, more European ceramics in basement
dec. arts section. Courtyard Cafe is wonderful and
worth the wait for a table.

Mus. of Contemporary Art also has nice restaurant and
terrace.

Best restaurant = Prego on Ashland Ave. Moderately
priced and some of the very best cooking in town bar
none. Athena in Greek Town has huge outdoor patio and
great menue especailly if sharing with friends.

ENJOY - Chicago's a great town!
