FAQs

What is the pricing for these classes?

$35 per class + taxes.

We do offer 50% off your very first class so you can try it out and see if our classes would work for you and your child without a big commitment. Call our office to set up your trial class.

You are also able to purchase multiple classes at a time and save that way.

Booking Last Minute

To sign up for a class within 24 hours of the start time, call the Studio to initiate a manual registration.

Please note that last minute booking is subject to space in the given class, and is not guaranteed.

What will my child be doing?

We work with your child to make sure they get the best out of their time here. With open learning style classes your child gets to pick their own subject matter and medium (acrylic, watercolour, drawing, etc). Instructors will come along side and guide their artistic journey. There will also be short instructive lessons at the beginning of the class to ensure solid art foundations are communicated clearly.

What if I can’t come every day?

At the time of scheduling you are able to remove certain dates that you are unable to attend. This allows you to book a few classes at a time without worrying about paying for a class that you know you will not be able to attend.

If something comes up after your classes have been purchased please let us know and we can work on possibly rescheduling that for you, if given more then 24 hours notice.
