About Jenny
The in-person store is finally open! I sell general art supplies & the art kits you see here. I will soon offer a place to test those supplies & space for the community to meet. Over 40 Make $%* Night anyone? Or perhaps a BYOC (Bring Your Own Craft) night? Sketchbook night?
You can ask any question you have (if I don't know I have access to the interwebs) & suggest supplies to order &/or place your own order.
Workshops for adults & teens are coming soooon.
I taught art in two Chicago public high schools (and one after school program) for 20 years & I like to think I learned a few things.
I value shopping at independent, local shops & my hope is that enough other people do too. The flavor & community focused vibe these places bring to a neighborhood is invaluable & I really hope that people can limit their online chain buying to only things they can't find in person. I do think the online space has been amazing for the disabled & so I don't want it to go away, but I think things can even out. There is no reason that Amazon needs to be larger than its name implies.
This web site & the shop are for anyone who wants to play & experiment (or knows someone who does) & experience the process & joy of making. My goal is to facilitate by choosing materials that will be fun, not frustrating, and that include everything you might need to get started. No more excuses - go make stuff :)
