FAQs

Can I sign-up as a walk-in day of class?

At this time, the studio does not take walk-ins. Time is needed to prep and setup for all classes/workshops including supplies and workspace. There is also a limit to how many the space can accommodate so registration is required for all classes and workshops.

I have my own tools, may I bring them?

Yes, please bring your own tools if your prefer. Studio will provide everything you need for each project.

I'm also an artist, do you accept guest teachers?

Absolutely! Please contact me with your project idea and we will discuss studio details.

I've taken a class with you in the past, would you honor the discount?

Happy to, and excited to see you again for another class!
