In this workshop, you'll make a sterling silver ring through the silversmithing "fabrication" technique. Learn the basics of texturing metal, forming metal with mandrels and hammers, soldering (yes, you'll play with fire!), and decorative finishing and leave with a beautiful handmade ring that will last a lifetime! This is not just some craft project. You will be working on the same tools that I use myself as a professional silversmith and your ring will be professional quality. It's always a fun evening! You'll be floored by what you can create! Other things to note: You will get plenty of ideas for rings during the class. I also encourage you to look at the photos in this experience as well as guest photos for ideas!

Take the architecture tour voted #1 by TripAdvisor users! We will be taking a leisurely 2-hour walk exploring some of the most beautiful and often overlooked buildings in downtown Chicago, both outside and inside, and learning about the most important and interesting parts of Chicago's architectural history. Visitors often don't know where to go, or even where they're allowed. This experience takes them inside places they'd never even consider, to show off more than 100 years of architecture as it developed here in the Windy City -- including stunning stained glass, atrium-like spaces, 19th century skyscrapers, and more! Great tour for photographers and travel buffs! Some things to note: Bring a camera -- this is an AWESOME way to practice your architecture photography! Also, dress for the weather, and if it's raining, bring an umbrella. Also, please note that if you provide a non-US phone number as your day-of contact number, we **CANNOT** call you if you're lost or late!

We'll meet at my bike loaner HQ in the heart of Chicago's Wicker Park where we'll discuss the day's ride and get comfortable riding together. Then, I will lead you on a 4 hour custom bike ride through several Chicago neighborhoods. We'll ride under the historic "L" train, visit several of the city's neighborhoods (historically diverse and modernly hip), get a taste of Chicago's craft beer scene (if requested) and see Chicago's wide range of architectural styles and oddities, parks, 1920s gangster related sites, great skyscraper views, movie locations, cluster of early 1900s movable bridges, and street art. No tour will be the same as it will be adjusted according to your responses to the pre-ride questionnaire. ** I have a small number of older model loaner bikes available for people who do not have one their own. If you prefer to rent newer bikes I can offer some suggestions.** ***As a general rule, unless the next day forecast is for all day thunderstorms, we wait until the morning of to make the final call to cancel. I don't normally cancel the ride if just a shower or two are forecasted. Sometimes we have coordinated with all riders to move the time up or back an hour to avoid bad weather. If a downpour does come during a ride we can wait it out over a snack or a brief look inside a place.*** ****Private groups large than 4 contact me directly. We can set it up.**

Everyone loves Art Deco, with all the elegance, glam, and glitz of the 1920s and 1930s. This 2-hour walking tour explores the interiors and exteriors of gorgeous buildings from this surprisingly brief architectural period in Chicago, with some interesting details and stories about life in that era. Flappers, gangsters, jazz, speakeasies — we'll pepper those throughout our larger exploration of Chicago's magnificent Art Deco buildings in order to truly set the context for you! You’ll walk in the footsteps of those high on the potential of the future, before the infamous Crash of ‘29. You’ll understand why the Art Deco style is so timeless — why even for us, it has a stunning beauty that inspires us to this day. You’ll learn to look at this architectural style especially as a form of “marketing” for the ambitious people inside; you’ll put yourselves in the shoes of people whose focus was on the future, and whose architecture showed it. Fall back in time, and enjoy these interior spaces reminiscent of Metropolis, The Great Gatsby, and even Gotham City (we’ll explain that one…). Staying almost entirely within the downtown Loop neighborhood, we’ll explore the elegance of this fascinating period in Chicago's history.

Sign up for Chicago Art Studio Tours and I’ll show you a part of our city that most visitors don't see... That is, the working studios of some talented, creative folks that make Chicago so beautiful! I offer this unique, custom-curated experience so that you may get an intimate look at what it means to be an artist living and working in Chicago. We will visit the studios of five artists. This experience is 2-3 hours. Depending on the artists' work schedules, you may be able to meet the artists during the tour. We will spend time viewing studio work, work spaces and/or galleries or public art when applicable, current works-in-progress as well as learning about each artist and their medium of choice. Because some if not all of the tour will take place in the artists’ personal work spaces which may contain never-before-seen works in progress, no photography is allowed within the studios. Once you have committed to a tour date, you may make a request for a certain artist, art style or medium of art. I cannot guarantee that I will fulfill particular requests but I will do my best. Please note: Although AirBnb requires this listing to indicate a medium (ex: painting, sculpture, etc) this tour may include a various number of styles and mediums. Other things to note Enjoy the tour! Please keep an open mind and remember that art is subjective. Be courteous and respectful as we will be entering the personal studio spaces of working artists who have allowed us entry. No photography is allowed within the studio spaces.
