Dear Mary Schultz (and others in the Chicago area),
There are several good options for jewelry programs in the Greater
Chicago Metropolitan Area, if you are willing to make a reasonably
short drive.
The Evanston Art Center has a wonderful schedule of day and night
classes in jewelry, held in an older but well-equipped studio in
Evanston. The Art Center (TAC) in Highland Park also has a good
program. Both centers are about a half-hour drive from Palatine. In
Chicago, Lillstreet Art Center, on Ravenswood and Montrose Avenues,
has a large studio and a varied program, and is about 45 minutes to
an hour away from you. The College of Dupage has a newly renovated
studio at the school in Wheaton… NEIU (Northeast Illinois
University) has a fine up-to-date studio, and an extensive jewelry
program. The campus is located in Albany Park. Closer to you, Harper
College would be a place to investigate, as well as College of Lake
County, and the McHenry County College. If you are willing to spend a
little time researching, I’m sure you will find a place that suits
you.
One other suggestion would be to contact the Chicago Metal Arts Guild
@chicagometalartsguild.org We’re always glad to meet other metal
artists, especially those from the “neighborhood”
Good luck!
