It’s hard to believe that it’s a new year already.
The Guild is starting the new year with a selection of classes that has something to offer almost anyone. Whether you are a seasoned artist or just beginning your artistic journey, or anywhere in between, you will want to attend one of our classes to flex your creative muscles; not to mention the opportunity to meet other like-minded people.
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 2 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 1 Activity Center. Drop by; you might decide to join the Guild for only $20 per year.
Listed below are our classes from January through March 2016. 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: www.saddlebrookefinearts.org/classes.

To register for any of the classes listed, go to our Classes page on our website listed above, print the registration form (big brown button at the top of the page) and mail it along with your check to the Guild Registrar according to the instructions. Please send a separate registration form and check with each class you wish to take.
Note: Make sure your registration form arrives at least one week before the class so it won’t be in danger of cancellation due to low attendance.
Happy creating!
