The Coral Springs Craft Guild began as a way to promote crafts in Coral Springs. In the last 30 years, the Guild has become an organizational member of the cultural community. Since its enthusiastic beginning, the Craft Guild has had many energetic and accomplished members on its board of directors. They have all helped guide the group to its present reputation as a quality organization. The Guild is a non-profit organization comprised of talented crafters and artisans from several counties.
The purpose of the Craft Guild is to improve the quality of hand-crafted items sold in the area, stimulate creativity in design and use of materials, provide an outlet for the exhibition and sale of members’ work, enhance fellowship within the crafting community, and interact with the community through scholarships and community service projects.
Scholarship Winners
Since 1984, the Guild has awarded approximately $60,000 in scholarships to high school seniors who are pursuing further education in the arts and craft-related fields. The scholarship program is open to seniors from Coral Springs high schools, seniors who live in Coral Springs, and children of our members who are seniors at other high schools.
Our major events each year are the hand-crafted Spring function and Holiday Show. Due to our fine reputation for quality crafts, these events are very well attended.
The Guild holds a general meeting on the third Wednesday of each month (except May and December) at 7:30 pm at Cypress Hammocks Park, 1300 Coral Springs Drive, Coral Springs. The meetings are open to the public and often feature an accomplished artisan. Guild members (below) enjoyed a recent hands-on demonstration of wire work.
