Class Guidelines
Telephone and online registration gladly accepted, but fees must be paid within 48 hours of registering or your

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.
