One thing that the Guild is well known for is excellent educational opportunities. The Guild School is known and respected world-wide, Guild Study Programs have a steady following of devoted attendees, and classes, in a variety of lengths and media, abound at every Guild Show. This year’s show is no exception with 22 classes offered in a variety of lengths from a couple of hours or up to 3 days, in media ranging from doll sculpting, to furniture making, to painting…including two classes in 1/144 scale!

The Guild Show is being held September 19-21, 2018, at the Hartford/Windsor Marriott Hotel again this year. The hotel is conveniently located near major highways for those who will be driving, a short and free shuttle ride from the airport, and reasonably close to train and bus transportation as well. The show rate also includes free breakfast for two!

Beth Freeman-Kane, such an artist in depicting nature in miniature, will help you to create this colorful vignette of a hummingbird amongst the flowers.

Fully illustrated brochures describing all class and tour offerings made their debut at the Chicago International Show last week. If you’re not on the IGMA or show mailing list, you can request one from the show director or check out the Show pages on the Guild’s website.

This will be Jeannie Anderson’s (Maya Miniatures) first time at the Guild Show and she’ll be teaching her students how to create these super cute Halloween treats!
