First, a very special Thank You to our Donors for your generous gifts to Jim's #Giving Tuesday fundraiser on Facebook! You raised $1,225 for the Guild!
Covid-19 may have limited some of our plans, but the Guild has been busy and new exhibitions and educational programs are moving forward! You recently received an email calling for entries for the upcoming TIME OUT exhibition - mark your calendar for March 7 to drop off your entries. Click here to check out the Prospectus for details.

The education program is off to a great start! Bobbie Brit had a very successful Abstract Art Class in January, Jim Tripp finishes up his successful Pottery Class this week with his student taking home their own glazed pieces, and Nila Chamberlain launches her Watercolor classes this month. All of these classes have been held at the Guild House at no charge to the students! Be sure to visit the posts to view the pictures! The links are in the highlights below.

Although the Guild House has been closed recently except for special events like the classes that could be conducted with suitable Covid-19 precautions, we expect to open again in March. The call has gone out for docents to be available. If you are interested in helping staff the Guild House, please contact Jim Tripp.

Jim Trip and his class had a wonderful time on February 8th at the Guild House. Each student created a basket from clay and Jim is now firing the baskets to bisque form. On February 15th the students will return to glaze and clear coat their creations, then return on February 18th to pick up their finished works. Looking great!
