The SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild is offering summer art classes open to all SaddleBrooke residents. The classes for beginning and intermediate students are designed to give participants a chance to explore various art methods or to refine their technique in a particular media. There is a modest fee per class and for some classes there is a nominal materials fee.
The classes will take place at the HOA2 Arts and Crafts Center in either the Topaz or Agate rooms in June and July 2016. Morning classes meet from 9:00 a.m. to noon, afternoon classes meet from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and full day classes meet from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a break for lunch.
