Shelley, while they're not located in Chicago, Great Lakes Clay in
Carpentersville (~50 miles away) will ship via UPS.

That's all that's left now; you'd think a place like Chicago would have
more. We used to have Tucker through Shimpo in Itasca but they decided it
was too much trouble apparently and ART in Elk Grove but they deserted us
and went to Wisconsin http://www.artclay.com/.

WARNING: I cannot be held responsible for the above

The closest supplier to the City of Chicago is:

Ceramic Supply Chicago
942 Pitner Avenue, Evanston, IL 60202
Phone: 847-425-1900

They are convenient and easy-going....the city distributers of days past
(ie:Robbins Clay Co., Midwest Clay Co, Metro Ceramic Supply, A.R.T.) have all
dearly departed, the latter over the state line presumably for tax reasons.
Also Great Lakes Clay in Carpentersville is good, a hour schlep, but
sometimes you just gotta have it :)
