Making the goods at Lill Street Art Center, Ravenswood

Lill Street Art Center 4401 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago, IL 60640

We've been all sports, sports, sports with our kids but my daughter's penchant for artistic endeavors could no longer be denied.  We enrolled our plucky eight year old in a pottery class at Lill Street Art Center in the Ravenswood area of Uptown. What a great experience it has been!

Hopefully she is making me a coffee cup! We can't wait to see her creations and enroll in more painting and pottery classes (after the winter basketball season of course).  Thanks to the Lill Street instructors for providing a terrific environment for our kids.

A Night at Lill Street with Art Reach in Ravenswood

Ryne, Jillian and I had the good fortune of attending the Art Reach benefit directed by Skye Enyeart. The benefit included a silent auction. We were invited by my good friend and construction contrator Jon Hill of Artistic Construction and his wife Dannah. Jon somehow still manages to do a lot of cool things around Chicago and he saved me from my lameness for another night.

Ravenswood and Lincoln Square offer so much for kids and familys. Lill Street Art Center at Ravenswood and Montrose is one of those cool places you can only find in the city. We jumped at a chance to bid on local art for the home and get out with Ryno... he's a bit of night owl and he had a blast.

Before you know it, he'll be eating crayons with the best of them.
