INGRID'S NEW STUDIO/CLASSROOM/GALLERY

In the beginning of September, Ingrid opened her new studio/classroom/gallery, INGRID'S ORIGINALS INC., located at 3729 N. Ravenswood Ave., Suite # 138, Chicago, IL 60613. From a raw industrial big box, Ingrid designed a new environment conducive for CREATING! Watercolor classes began on September 16, and 17, with students loving all of the room in the new classroom! This new space will be open to new classes and workshops in the near future. (See information under Classes and Workshops).


 


...Ingrid's Cool Globe:

The GREEN ROOF CONNECTION What ever happened to Ingrid's Cool Globe?

The GREEN ROOF CONNECTION has traveled from Chicago in 2007, as one of 50 traveling globes to travel across the United States. The cities hosting the successful exhibits include: United States Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, and in the fall of 2009 to Houston, TX. In 2010 the 50 globes will travel to Europe. The COOL GLOBES have gone on the road to encourage even more individuals, businesses, and governments to adopt simple solutions for global warming.
