Chicago Glass Collective

Glass artist Leslie Speicher runs this by-appointment-only studio out of a converted Ravenswood storefront, teaching fusing, casting, sandblasting, stained glass, and flameworking — its most popular pick is "Friday Night Fusing," where you design and kiln-fuse your own glass plate or bowl in a single session.

The move: Book a Friday Night Fusing slot together and each build a glass plate or bowl from cut and arranged glass pieces, choosing colors and patterns side by side before they go into the kiln.
