You might want to try the Evanston Art Center or Ravenswood. Good luck, Tina

Julie,

While at U of I at Chicago Circle, I took my first clay classes. They filled
the kilns with extras from outside potters with the proviso that 'user
beware' as most of the load was made by students and more prone to learners
kiln disasters (there were none while I was there). Give them a try.

Patti

on the NY/Quebec border
where we hardly got winter
and spring is a month early
this is not a complaint!
