Art is knowing which ones to keep." Scott Adams

New Board Members 2024

The Craft Guild is thrilled to introduce our new board members — Denise Kimberling Jones, David Stelchek, and Joni Stevenson. What makes it even more exciting is that they're not just joining the board; they're already part of our vibrant community as current members, students and even an instructor. The Guild thrives on the dedication of individuals who share our passion for creative learning. Join us in extending a warm welcome to them. At the same time, let's express our heartfelt thanks to the departing board members, Melody Lynch, Angela Brown and Jeff Duryea, for their outstanding contributions that have helped shape The Guild to what it is today.
