SUMMER 2015 CLASS SCHEDULE
Class Guidelines
Telephone and online registration gladly accepted, but fees must be paid within 48 hours of registering or your
name may be removed from the class list.
Class fees are non-refundable due to the commitment we have made to our instructors.
Register early, as space is limited and we are unable to offer a waiting list for some of our classes due to scheduling conflicts.
Supplies are not included with the registration fee unless otherwise stated. A supply list is given to the student when the class fee is paid. Some supplies can be brought from home; the rest is understood to be purchased at Ben Franklin Crafts with a 10% discount on non-sale class supplies only.
If 3 or fewer students register for a class, the class will be cancelled due to a lack of enrollment.
Samples of class projects will be on display in our store.
Age requirements are listed after each class title.
Classes require the ability to work independently with guidance from the teacher. If you require extra assistance,
please contact the store prior to class to set up necessary accommodations.
