Please contact us within 2 days (48 hours) prior to the class/workshop/event to inform us of the transfer.

Weather
In cases of severe inclement weather class will be canceled and a make-up date will be scheduled. Winter classes will typically go on as scheduled despite the presence of snow.

Demonstrations are usually first on the agenda, so late arrivals may mean missing important material. Please plan to show up a few minutes early to set up and get comfortable before we start class.
- Comfort
Depending on the class, we use chairs and upright easels or tables. Students are welcome to sit or stand as they prefer, or to bring their favorite chair/stool. If you require any specific accommodations please let us know in advance so we can set up the studio for your best comfort.
