We Need your Help! Computer Assistance Required.

The Guild is looking for a member who can help us with our online presence. We are in need of someone with computer knowledge and experience to ensure all the pieces work together with our website, social media and email and anything else that may arise. The Board members do not really understand how all this works and whether we are using it to our fullest advantage. We also need to be sure that we are protecting The Guild and our members the best we can. We are able to do editing of the website, create forms and send emails. We need advice and guidance. This person would become a member of the Executive Committee and would thus help us influence and ensure the future of The Guild.

If anyone is interested, able and willing please contact us at

​

Thanks so much!

Upcoming Events:

​

July 31 10:00-12:00  Saturday Morning workshop : Working with Cold Wax and Oils with Deborah Sundquist

Deborah has been a professional artist for over 35 years. Inspired by experimentation, she as a love of creating works in new combinations of mixed media. Although her followers love her realistic works, Deborah's heart lies in the abstract and surreal. Her use of color, shape and "things that don't go together" evoke emotion and invite the viewer to question and ponder her artistic creations.

We are excited to have Deborah share her vision and talent with us in this upcoming 2 hour workshop at our studio.

All supplies will be provided by the Guild. 

Cost for Members is $10.00; Non-Member $20.00
