Class
Policies:
Since most of our classes include all supplies, a final
decision to hold a class is made 72 hours prior to the class. No refunds
will be made after this time. If you need to cancel you may find an
alternate student to take your place. All classes are 2 hours
and includes use of our machines, equipment and supplies unless otherwise
specified. Weekly
classes meet same day and time each week unless noted. If
you find a class that is not on the current schedule, please call
or stop by and fill out a class request slip. We use our request slips
to schedule future classes. |
| Don't
Be Disappointed--Register early. Nothing will cancel a good class
faster than waiting until the last minute to register for it. We review
scheduled classes 72 hours before they begin. If there are not enough
registrants, the class may be canceled. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY. |
