Classes
Attention: Please do not wear perfume to class or to Club meetings! Some staff and customers have serious allergy issues!! Also, at this time we are requiring masks and social distancing. Let’s all work together to keep each other safe!
Classes do not include supplies unless specified.
We plan on having all our classes and club meetings at this time, although that could change. If you don’t feel comfortable coming to class, please give us 48 hours notice as always. Please don’t come if you’re sick! We are cleaning our surfaces and following the CDC guidelines. There’s plenty of room here that you don’t have to be too close to your neighbor! If anything changes, we will post it on Instagram and Facebook, in an e-mailing, and on our web site.

It is our policy that you are not registered for class without paying the full class fee. If you do not show up and do not call 48 hours in advance, we are not obliged to refund your fee. Refunds will be made if a class is cancelled. Classes may be cancelled if less than three sign up. We ask that you purchase your class supplies from us, and we offer 10% off purchases made at class time, and 10% off class supplies only ahead of class.
PLEASE NOTE: As a courtesy to all our students, please do not bring children or non-paying guests to class!
