Members meet weekly on Wednesday and/or Thursday afternoon from 1-4 in the Hospitality Room (next to the Textile Arts Room). Members use watercolor, acrylic or oil paints, collage or fabric art. Realistic or abstract paintings are determined by the member and support is always given. Occasionally classes are offered. We bring our own supplies, but beginner supplies are available in the cabinet if you want to give it a try. Whether you're an experienced painter or just learning you are welcome.

Woodshop

SSV Woodshop
 
From building furniture to turning wooden bowls - the SSV Woodshop has the tools and machines for you to learn and grow. Many of our members came into the Woodshop with very little experience in woodworking and are very willing to pass along what they have learned to newcomers.

The Woodshop is located in the craft wing behind the building that contains the card and billiard rooms as well as the HOA office.

To use the Woodshop, any resident must first complete a safety orientation course. Information about becoming a member and additional information about the Woodshop can be found on the Woodshop’s website - https://sites.google.com/view/ssvwoodshop/home

Hours:
  • Winter (November-March): Monday-Friday 8AM-4PM
