Chicago studio space? help me out

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for any glassblowers in the chicagoland area that would be so kind enough to let me rent out a bench space. Its been almost two months since ive moved back home from Or, with little success at finding a solid place to work at.


So far I've only heard of the mausoleum art gallery in Aurora, but that's looking to be a bit expensive with transportation and all.


If any of you know any glass peeps out in chicago, please help me out! I'm fiendin to get back on the torch over here!! :twitch:

Im out in the west suburbs fyi

If it works out i want a prodo spoon for my collection as a finders fee!

id probably be able to throw ya a piece once i get the wheels turning again.
Thanks sir, gotta love this awesome resource called the interwebs

ha score! I was half joking about that but if we ever meet up ill for sure take you up on that. Best of luck to you, I have to go up there sometime and check that place out.

hey man check out chicago hot glass, they are renting space. Call 773 394 3252, ask for joe sherry.

hey purdyglass i met you at MADE. Again your work is really good. Are you teaching at chicago hot glass ?

Thanks Purdy, Hot glass is actually where my interest in glass got started few years ago.
godamnnn I keep hittin myself in the head for not making it to Made for their last shindig..

gotta go to a made party! they're awesome :)

This was the 2nd one i went to, I really wanted a northstar grassroots hat and called up there and everything and they said they had them and then when i drive there they tell me grassroots never showed up. Even still it was really awesome. lots of artists were there, talked to Corn and Hacky for a minute. The art there is amazing. I havent met everyone that works there yet but Ed and Rose both seem really cool.
