BEWARE THESE TWO . In my opinion, they are crooks. My story…read moreis simple on 11/16of 24 I brought two paintings in for them to sell on consignment. Attached is a photo of the contract. They were Livingston Vincent Garrity paintings. Attached our two photos of the paintings. I paid Cheryl's husband right away and we drew up a contract and agreed on a 50-50 split . We stayed in contact and Cheryl's husband told me that the paintings were sold for 4000.00and he is waiting for a check or money transfer. This was/20/24 I stopped in right before Christmas to get paid and Cheryl's husband informed me they are still waiting for the money transfer , the paintings were shipped He assured me as soon as the funds were in his bank account, he would Zelle me the money . So I left for Florida. We kept in contact through tax and it was one excuse after another no money was sent. So I get back to Illinois early March 3/13/25 at this point I am calling him and texting him . Finally, he sends me $100. Well, I'm only 1900 short , so I continue calling them and nothing. Now we are getting heated , on 3/25 / 25 they send 500.00. So I called and no answer again., I text no answer, so at this point, I have an Attorney send them a letter. Now I get another 500 making me short 900 At this point, I am getting extremely angry and we start texting some more. Cheryl's husband calls me Avenatti the attorney that went after Donald J Trump. I'm sorry this is all uncalled for all over $2000 so now we can go to court. And I will expect proof of sale, for all I know they could've sold the paintings for $40,000. In my opinion, these two are the modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Definitely crooks so beware doing any business with them. There is no reason to ignore the phone after your husband told me the paintings were sold for $4000 in December. And he promised the money would be zelled right after Christmas to my account. Crooks is what you are

When I had trouble figuring out her website, the owner worked with me, and when I took a class wanting to do something very specific (make a traditional wired-brim hat that duplicated the look of one from a film), she helped me with that too even though it was slightly different from what the class was about (making an artistic felt hat). This is the only place in the suburbs that I know of which does any kind of millinery classes (felt hats from wool roving), and I'm grateful it's available. The owner's primary focus is the fabric arts (felting; weaving; dyeing) but also offer some bead and jewelry classes; the class I just took was a jewelry-making class in silver, copper, brass and even bronze taught by another artist. We all walked out with a generous handful of pieces we'd made and it was a lot of fun. I feel lucky to have access to such a variety of classes without having to drive in to Chicago, and the Berwyn studio is also fairly convenient. You might be taking a class all by yourself or with some other people; she has huge quantities of supplies, is patient guiding students, and you'll leave with something cool you made yourself. (She also sells tools and some of her / others' art. Some open studio available.) Limited parking in the back; some street parking. Studio might be a bit cold in the winter; consider a sweater or hoodie.

I was hoping to find a reasonable adult on the other end and instead I spoke with a child. The price for a private class was double the amount ( 2 people ) plus materials for certain classes. This being "ok" because there may not be at least 2 people signing up for the same class. While having a 30 minute conversation after being interrupted numerous of times when I'm trying to get information. I was finally told that I wouldn't be a good fit for her and that we shouldn't work together LOL. I was shocked and amazed at the level of disrespect and combative behavior I received speaking with this lady on the phone. Don't waste your time or money dealing with this kind of attitude and low level customer service. If you're looking to take a jewelry making classes for a reasonable price without the attitude, try Circle of Stones in LaGrange. They offer private one on one classes and all are classes are $35 for an hour and a half. Not $76 the price for 2 people at TLD for a private class. Circle of Stones also provide custom classes for the same price!! Perfect for me!! I'm looking forward to my first class next month!! Oh please, there was no miscommunication at all. This was definitely bigger than $3 and 3 hours oppose to 1.5 hours lol that's hilarious! Your attempt to save face is so horrible.

She'd found out that this particular gallery had some of her paintings on display and so, we stopped in for a visit. (I suggest you google her work. It's very unique and captivating) These days, I still pass by this gallery quite often, but haven't looked inside since that day many years ago. Today I had a little extra time on my hands so I decided to pull my truck into it's parking lot and step inside once again...never a bad idea since other people's artwork often inspires me when I'm creating my own. After getting buzzed in (which surprised me a little), I was greeted by a voice in the back asking if I needed help. Seems they also have a framing business and were quite busy putting a few together. I let them know I was just looking around and went about my self guided tour...at least, that's what I would have preferred. While perusing the artwork for a minute or two, a gentleman (who I assume was the owner) joined me in my stroll and after asking what I do for a living ( I HATE that), went on to tell me that he just had his whole house painted and that it doesn't pay to do it himself anymore. I'm sorry, but I didn't stop in here to hear about other people's life stories unless it's being told to me on canvas. So I give him polite one word answers and eventually, he gets the hint and leaves me alone. Just to make sure, I move to another part of the shop. But after looking around a while, I'd noticed that there really isn't much inside. A few cool colored etchings of buildings in Germany and they still carry some of Doolittle's works (one really cool canvas of native americans riding straight towards the viewer in full war paint called "Beyond Negotiations"), but not much else. To be honest, the place is a little unorganized and cluttered, but I can't say what it's cluttered WITH since there's really not a lot of artwork. If I was really in the market for some paintings, I'd probably be disappointed and not return. I guess that sums up my review, too. Leaving and not wanting to return kinda says it all, don't you think? I'm afraid two stars is all I can muster for Evergreen Gallery. Sorry about that, folks...I left uninspired.

I had installed it into my present house and my wife and I enjoyed looking at it every time we walked into our bedroom. Last year I noticed the glass was coming out of the leading holding it together. Upon further investigation I realized that the wood frame was rotted on the outside causing the issue. The glass was literally sinking out of the frame. After searching the internet I stumbled across Art Glass and Studio. I'm sure glad I did. Lawrence (Law) was a pleasure to work with! He was honest and realistic about his timeframe for assessing the situation and actually getting the work started and finished. I really appreciated that he let us know that he is a busy guy handling a number of projects at the same time but would give our window his utmost attention when our time came. He gave us plenty of options for the repairs working with our budget and suggesting different methods for reinstallation of the window. The option we chose was to make the window a decorative piece instead of an actual permanent window. That way if we move again or our children want the window to stay in the family after we're gone it will be easier to move it to the next place. When it came time for our window to be worked on, I removed it from our house (my choice to save money) and took it over to his shop. Law started on it and kept us informed as to how it was going. Once started, he finished it quickly and it looks great! In this day and age of "bait and switch" it was such a pleasure to work with someone who actually does what he says and does great work. This window was built around 1870 and thanks to Art Glass and Studio (Law) it should have another 150 years of in it. I highly recommend them
