One of the yarns I purchased for a fun scarf that was on display.
Carolyn H.

A knitting friend and I took a field trip in to Chicago with the mission of going to Sister Arts Studio for the first time. We have both lived all over the US and have shared stories of good and bad yarn stores. Sister Arts is on the top of both of our lists of GREAT. From the minute we walked in Shara engaged with us on all levels. We talked (and laughed) yarn, famous knitters and why we think some yarn stores are so unfriendly. She helped my friend pick a substitute yarn for a project with amazing knowledge. She pointed me to the sale yarn and then helped me pick yarn for one of the display scarves. They have a great selection of beautiful yarns, kits and tools. We talked about all the interesting offers of classes, some of which we will definitely join. We were the only customers for a bit which was fun to get such undivided attention. As more and more people came in for help and to shop, Shara was the ultimate multi-tasker, helping everyone with a smile and expert service. She ended our first visit with an excellent lunch recommendation. We will absolutely be return customers. This is a terrific place to shop for yarn and to go be with kindred spirits. Two thumbs up.

The beautiful shop has such an amazing vibe. Great music and incredible yarn collections! Love this place.

Ask the Community - Sister-Arts Studio

Do you offer tufting or rug weaving?

Are they open for product pick up during covid?

Yes! Just call or email the shop. They are also mailing out orders daily. I've done curbside pickup for yarn and it was very speedy.

We were lucky enough to have a great group in the class which added to the whole experience. Educational and fun. Thank you for a great time!

Pros: the instructor was helpful, informative, and very kind (the only reason i gave this 2 stars instead of 1). the experience was fun and i got to create a bowl (a $50 bowl if you pay cash, paid $100 for two) Cons: there wasn't a FAQ message before the class so i didn't know what to bring (or to cut my nails). the class was overbooked so the instructor was bouncing back and forth between two rooms so the class went way over the end time and we missed our dinner reservation. we also didn't receive any updates on our bowls and it had been 6 weeks. i tried to call but no answer and can't leave a voicemail because the box is full. it feels like after the experience, they sorta ghost you. you have to be the one to follow up twice which i found annoying. i had also gone to pick up my bowl because they said it was ready and when i got there it wasn't ready. had to go back again a week later. in all, i won't be coming back and wouldn't recommend it to others.

We first gathered in the back where there is a bar and enjoyed some drinks, macaroons, and charcuterie. The space was able to hold about 20 of us comfortably. For our activity, we water color painted an alphabet book for the baby. Each page consisted of a letter and accompanying animal tracing, so our job was just to fill it in. I'm pretty sure the owner did all the outlines for us, which was incredibly impressive! The painting was so relaxing, therapeutic, and fun! I love that my friend will have this book to look back on to remember the fun day. They offer SO many fun and crafty classes here. Wreath building, calligraphy, embroidery, macrame, and that is truly just the tip of the iceberg. If you're interested in picking up a new hobby or exploring a craftier side, I think indigo + violet is the perfect place to look.

I had my bridal shower at Indigo & Violet for ~20 guests and everything exceeded my expectations!…read moreLeigh, the owner of the studio, led us through a floral arrangement workshop and it was a beautiful, fun, and a unique event- everyone had so much fun. We brought our own snacks & bubbly, and saved extra time for presents/games. In total we used the space for 3.5 hours. The total price was very reasonable for a private event in Chicago and the studio set up was perfect! Leigh was very professional, responsive, and listened my vision - she provided the exact type of flowers/color scheme I asked for. It was a lovely event and I cannot recommend Indigo & Violet enough! Perfect for any bridal shower, baby shower, bachelorette party, birthday, or any special celebration!

Lillstreet Art Center is a magical place, it has a little bit of everything!…read more I've taken everything from pottery classes to jewelry workshops to textile classes here. They really have a wide selection and great time options in the evenings for those who work 9-5. 12 years later I still use the garlic grater I made in a sculpting class. Prices are expected, but reasonable for what you get. Teachers are awesome and work with you to help you learn, even if working with clay isn't your thing (I learned quickly it wasn't my thing). But it's still fun to try something new! In the heart of Ravenswood easily accessible by the el, and they do have parking if you drive. Definitely check out this gem if you haven't yet.

As described in the Lillstreet Art Center website, it was "founded in 1975, Lillstreet is a…read morecreative workspace for artists of all levels, from first-timers, to professionals. No matter how you define yourself, you belong here!" When Daughter told me that she had just registered for a "Beginning Wheelthrowing" class at Lillstreet, I did not know the art center. However, I had always been curious about wheelthrowing and wanted to finally learn about it, so I registered too! We both registered for a 10-week class that met once a week in the weekend. It had been a fun 10 weeks! Well, we had missed 2 classes for our unexpected trip to Europe, but we were fortunate that we could make up work by going to "open studios" that are available only to current students. Our teacher Jen FitzGerald has 25 years of experience in ceramics. Both Jen and the class assistant, Kim, are very kind, welcoming, and encouraging. Jen always has solutions to whatever problems that we might have. After she made a demonstration throwing on the wheel, she would go around the classroom to see how everybody was doing with her own work. It was especially helpful during the first couple of classes that Jen came by me and helped me one-on-one to overcome the hurdles that I had. After I "mastered" the techniques, wheelthrowing is relaxing and fun. Glazing pottery has been a lot of fun too! Looking for our fired glazed work on the common shelves is like Christmas! There have been nice surprises of how the glazed work turned out! Now both Daughter and I have made a bunch of cups, mugs, and bowls that we are proud of. Like a lot of the students at Lillstreet, our passion for ceramics have been ignited, this class won't be the last! Lillstreet Art Center not only offers a lot of different art classes for all levels, it also hosts private events like birthday parties, and one-time workshops that you can test the water and have some fun. There is a gallery/gift shop that features a lot of one-of-a-kind creations from teachers and students, most are really sophisticated and professional, and inspirational too! There is a small café that you can enjoy local baked goods. We had tried the almond croissants which were very good. Our teacher Jen is having a Lounge Show "Mudweaver Ceramics" in the cafe, from November 1 to 30, 2024. The show showcases some very amazing ceramic art that looks like woven baskets! Come see the show if you can! Closing reception is on Friday, November 29 at 6:00 PM.
