Registration Form
Most of our classes are scheduled in a format where the morning hours of class time are used for instruction and demonstration. After a brief break, the class resumes in a studio format. This allows participants to utilize our well equipped studio to work on a project.

Withdrawal/Cancellation Policy: A refund (tuition less 20%) will be issued if a student withdraws from class two weeks or more prior to the beginning of class. If withdrawal occurs less than two weeks before class, no cash refund will be issued, but a school credit voucher will be provided. Occasionally there is insufficient registration for a class to run. In such cases, registrants will be given three options:  (1) Private or semi-private lessons (with price adjustment), (2) placement in another time slot for the same class, or (3) refund.
