SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild lists upcoming classes

Janet Tucker

The SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the artists and made our October fine art show a huge success. We simply couldn’t do this without the support of so many SaddleBrooke art patrons.

Now the Guild is hard at work making sure we have an exciting selection of classes for the fall and spring. Remember, you do not have to be a Guild member to sign up and take classes; they’re open to everyone, although there is an additional $10 fee for non-Guild members.

Listed below are our classes from November 2015 through March 2016. The 2016 calendar is still in progress. Always check the website for the most up-to-date schedule, prices, descriptions and supply lists; www.saddlebrookefinearts.org/classes.
