DASF members love to share this wonderful pastime with the community and so teach new comers to the art form through community Learn-to-Paints. 


These are popular with Lee County Libraries and with stores such as JoAnn's and A.C. Moore. Some of our member/teachers such as Joyce Kostelak, Judith MacLaren, Jackie Marth, and Suzanne Mikulka offer these sessions throughout the year.
