Classes
It is our goal to provide you with interesting and enjoyable classes.
To do this we often bring in national teachers that we need to book 2 -3 years in advance.
Because of travel arrangements they need to make, we need to let the teachers know a month in advance
if there are enough students interested in the class for the teacher to come.
We ask that when you see a class offered by a national (Guest) teacher that you know you will want to take to please register early.
This helps us to know if we can assure the teacher we have enough students for the teacher to come.
Classes will be canceled if enrollment is too low to hold the class. You may want to purchase supplies after the enrollment close date to be sure the class will be held.
Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel a class you have registered for you must contact the shop 7 days prior to the class in order to receive a refund.
