SaddleBrooke Squares’ website has online video lessons.

The summer months are a fun and no stress way to take advantage of the SaddleBrooke Fine Arts Guild classes. These short classes have been very popular and are a great way for anyone interested in art to test the water and see if painting is right for you. Or perhaps you would like to explore another medium. These exciting little classes are taught primarily by our Art Guild members and many of the summer instructors will be in the October 30 and 31 Fine Arts Show.
Half day summer classes are $15 and we even offer some free classes. The summer class schedule is being developed as we speak, but below are listed the classes that we have in the pipeline right now. More information can be found about each class on our website at www.saddlebrookefinearts.org.
