Name: James Wurm Location: Pilsen — Chicago, Illinois Size: 860 square feet Years lived in: 1+ — rented
In just over a year, James has transformed this storefront space into a livable, exciting stomping ground for cooking, socializing, and sharing. Starting with the kitchen and dining area, the priorities for the apartment are clear: without a functioning work space for creating edible masterpieces, a sizable area for this production artist to produce and archive, and a dining space for the dozens of folks he feeds, this apartment would lack its purpose.

- CHECK GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS: While you are checking out the roof, clean out those gutters and downspouts. When winter comes with all that snow and ice, you want your gutters and downspouts to be clean so that the run-off will flow away from your house and not into it.

Q: Any idea where i can take an upholstery course in S.F.? I know S.F. City College offered a course a couple of years ago, but it’s no longer available. I’m desperate to learn upholstery techniques! Thanks so much!

Remember when photography classes were taught with film. The first assignment in any Photo 101 class was almost always to create a cyanotype to understand how light sensitive paper works. Nowadays, using sunlight and chemicals to create an image feels like too much work, but that doesn’t mean you have to forgo the the look altogether.
If you asked someone today to make a cyanotype, she might look in confusion at her digital camera and then ask where the heck do you buy Prussian blue, aqueous potassium ferricyanide and aqueous ferric ammonium citrate.
