Art Lessons:
REGISTRATION: Ensures a spot is available for the registered student each week per monthly term. Registered students have the option to register for a new term immediately following the initial term, indefinitely. Tuition shall be set up as automatic payments and is a flat monthly fee based on an annual schedule of 51 weeks of classes per year. This rate remains identical every month, including months with 5 weeks of classes, statutory holidays, and our scheduled 1-week studio closure during the Christmas season. New students are welcome to join at any point during the year if a seat is vacant. If joining mid-month, tuition will be prorated per remaining classes, and standard flat-rate monthly billing will begin on the 1st of the following month. Tuition fees are subject to change without notice.
If a student is unable to attend a session he/she is required to contact me at least one hour prior to their scheduled class time. (Acceptable methods of contact include email, phone, or text.) Any unattended classes are forfeited by the student and no reimbursement or credit shall be issued.
NOTE: From time to time, a class may be canceled by the instructor due to low attendance or due to unforeseen events such as illness, power outage, snow, etc. In this case, you shall be given as much advance notice as possible via email. You will be given the option to attend a make-up session in another class, or a credit will automatically be applied to your next month’s invoice.
Students are required to bring their own art supplies to each session, and to maintain their art kit. (Non-consumable supplies such as aprons, brushes, palettes, water containers, etc. may be borrowed from the studio.)
If an individual is being disruptive to others, or has demonstrated destructive behaviour, he/she will be expelled from the studio and no refund or credit shall be issued for any remaining prepaid sessions.
Those who take the summer months off will have the opportunity to register for September classes in August, provided space is available. Please understand, the studio operates year-round and therefore a spot may not be available when you wish to return to the studio.
NOTE: Any artwork or art supplies left at the studio for more than 30 days will be deemed abandoned and shall be discarded.
DROP-INS: I allow drop-ins when space is available. Someone wishing to drop in must be interested in registering for the class they wish to attend and shall pay a drop-in fee for a 2-hour class. Please contact me prior to the class time you wish to attend to confirm space is available.
Workshops / Intro Programs:
A minimum number of registrants are required to run a workshop or class. If a person registers for a program and the program is cancelled due to low registration a full refund (or credit towards another program) shall be issued. “No Shows” / absentees and late cancellations are not refunded, credited, or carried forward to another class or program.
Payments:
We accept cash, credit card, and debit payments. Fees posted online do not include applicable taxes. Prices are subject to change without notice. A $25 administrative fee will apply to any payment that fails to process after a 3-day grace period. To withdraw your child from the studio and stop automated billing, we require 30 days’ written notice via email before the next billing cycle.
Refunds & Credits:
We do not offer refunds or credits for art lessons, workshops, or any other program – unless the class is cancelled by the instructor.
Original artwork / pieces may be returned and refunded (less shipping fees) within 14 days from purchase date and must be received in perfect condition and in original packaging. Please contact me to inquire about how to return an item. Custom prints cannot be returned.
