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.**

If you would like to learn more about the editing process or a photographer's guides, let me know and I am more than happy to share my knowledge. You will receive all unedited photos (usually 250+).

**Spring and Winter hikes** Check the weather! Bring your mudboots and warm attire if needed. We might be hiking through snow and/or mud! Every morning at 10 am our goat herd is released from their over night paddock to forage through our wooded dune lands. The farm is surrounded by the county’s recreational public Manistee forest with hundreds of acres of pure Michigan nature along beautiful sandy hiking trails. Guests begin the hike at the rendezvous goat barn with the goats. Here is where our goats can be pet and introduced, starting the hour long easy walking trail hike. During this gentle jaunt through the woods our guests will get to know our friendly goats by being able to hand feed treats, learn what shrubs are the goats’ favorite forage, and have any extra belongings (such as a water bottle) be panniered by our goats. Although this experience is routinely beginning every morning, sometimes we can flexibly arrange our goat hikes to start at anytime from 8am till noon. Our hike does wind in and off of our farm property as well so our guests will be given stories of farm life and all the ins and outs of what it takes to raise these wonderful creatures.

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.
