An update from Amber Sipich:
I just opened a small store in Chicago’s Roscoe Village neighborhood called “And Studio”. The store builds on my existing graphic design business that I own with my business partner. We are selling prints, home decor and handmade goods that we make in house as well as good from other local artists and makers. I’ve kept up both my art concentrations since attending IWU and now have my own intaglio press where I make the monoprints that we are selling in store. Additionally we are hoping to host workshops and events in our space once the vaccine has been distributed to the public. Our website is andstudiochi.com and we hope to be updating it with all our new vendor’s products soon!
