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.
