Fine Arts Guild schedule

Janet Tucker

The Guild has been working hard to put together an exciting selection of classes for the winter and spring. And remember, you do not have to be a Guild member to sign up and take classes; they’re open to everyone. All classes are held in the Arts and Crafts area in HOA Two in either the Topaz Room or the Agate Room.

Many of our class instructors give a brief presentation at our Guild meetings which are open to the public. Guild meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month at 4:00 p.m. in the HOA One Activity Center. Drop by, you might decide to join the Guild for only $20 per year.

Listed below are our classes from December through March. The remainder of the 2016 calendar is in progress. Always check the website for the most up-to-date schedule, prices, descriptions and supply lists at www.saddlebrookefinearts.org/classes.
