Your Board had a very fruitful all day retreat on August 27 to guide the Guild to better serve your needs! Many ideas are already implemented!

Starting in October Tuesday afternoons will be dedicated to instructor facilitated sessions in the Topaz Room. These sessions will be for students who have completed a beginner class in the medium and want to improve their skills. Students will work on their own projects and will need their own supplies.
