What is your cancellation policy?

We offer a full refund if you cancel at least a week ahead of the beginning of the class session. If you give less than a week’s notice, we’ll refund you if we’re able to fill your spot.


What happens if I miss a class?

Talk to your teacher about a possible makeup class. We can’t guarantee anything, but we’ll try our best to find you a spot in an upcoming class. And there’s always open studio time!

Where should I park?

There's parking right in front on Forest Ave, and at the back of the building along Preble St. Extension (the road that runs up to Forest from the Back Cove). There are also a few spots in the parking lot beside the building. To get to those, turn onto the road/driveway by Palmer Springs – to your left you'll see parking spots under the porch with the big green door. Please don't park in the parking lot for Landrace/Sun Tiki/Forest Gardens.
