WELCOME TO THE CRAFT GUILD
WELCOME TO THE CRAFT GUILD
Founded in 1948, The Craft Guild of Dallas began as a passionate community of artists seeking a dedicated space to create, teach, and share their crafts.
Over the decades, we’ve grown into a thriving hub for creativity, offering fully equipped studios, year-round classes, and workshops led by nationally and internationally renowned artists.
Meet Our Instructors
Today, in our spacious Carrollton location, we continue to inspire and connect makers through hands-on learning, exhibitions, and our beloved Spring and Fall Show and Sales.
Share Your Passion – Teach at The Craft Guild
At The Craft Guild, we’re fortunate to have a wonderfully diverse group of instructors who bring experience, creativity, and dedication to every class. From ceramics and glass to metals, painting, fiber, and beyond, our instructors are the heart of what makes the Guild such a vibrant place to learn. They are committed to sharing their knowledge through hands-on learning, mentoring students of all levels, and inspiring creativity every day.
Many of our students discover a love of teaching themselves and eventually return as instructors, keeping the tradition of craft and community alive. This cycle of learning and teaching is what makes the Guild such a unique and supportive place for artists to grow.
Do you have a special skill or expertise in the arts that you’d like to share? Whether you are an experienced teacher or a practicing artist interested in guiding others, we’d love to talk with you. The Craft Guild is always looking for new instructors who are passionate about their craft and eager to inspire the next generation of makers.
Teaching at the Guild is more than just leading a class — it’s joining a community that values creativity, craftsmanship, and the joy of learning.
If you’re ready to share your passion, let’s start the conversation!
