in

Ever wonder what working artists workshops look like? Need some fresh jewelry, ceramics, or gifts? Well, you’re in luck because it’s Ravenswood Art Walk weekend. Make sure to visit us at the second floor group metals studio at the Lillstreet Art Center at 4401 N. Ravenswood, Chicago. I’m planning some demos, we have some jewelry for sale, some snacks, and some of us will be working along as usual. Lillstreet will have some children’s activities outside, but make sure you step inside to find us in room 201.

Deerfield Art Festival

I was just working today on my set up today for the Deerfield Art Festival. I’m so excited. For this show I’m concentrating my display solely on my enamels. I teach enamels at Lillstreet Art Center, as well as own my own kiln which I use in my kitchen alcove. No one has a better alcove than I do! I have light, frequent visits to the kitchen by my family, and lots of ventilation. After that, I complete the work by heading down to Lillstreet where I rent a bench in the group metals studio. How lucky I am! These amazing fellow artists give me ideas on technique, and offer a wonderful fellowship fostered by our common joy in carrying out our craft. At Lillstreet I complete the settings that help set my work apart from so many other enamelists.

Ok. Now for the details of this weekend’s Art show. It can be found at the corner of Deerfield Road and Park Avenue in Deerfield. It is open from 10am to 5pm. The weather this weekend promises to be absolutely perfect! Please come check it out!

We’ll have locally made handcrafted gifts by 3 friends, Christy Fliou, Sheila Schaeffer-Hirsh, and me. Sheila will have her beautify handmade books and jewelry, Christy has some amazing handcrafted aromatherapy gifts, and I will be bringing a selection of handmade jewelry. We are planning to have some delicious treats, and drinks as well. Even if you don’t need to shop, we are hoping you’ll stop by and say hi. This will be in the same location as my old massage business.
