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.
