Hi everyone,

I'm located in Chicago, brand new to the hobby. Planning to make pens out of aluminum and brass for now. Just want to make things without cluttering up my house. Looks like I'll be learning more than in teaching for the foreseeable future so thanks in advance.

You will not be disappointed. $69 for you and family, dozens of top notch vendors, many demos to pick from, hands on classes this year. The best part is making connections and friends from all over the place that you will see (many of them) here on IAP that you will be able to ask questions and get advice from in the future. Mark and Donna Dryer, John Underhill, Ed and Dawn (and Dean) from Exotic Blanks put together a fantastic weekend that is not to be missed. They also get a ton of help from the Chicago area clubs which would be another great resource for you.
 
Welcome from another Chicagoan! (west 'burbs)

2nd for the MPG, what a great experience.

There are several turning clubs in the area if you're not already a member, don't hesitate to reach out.
