• Class registration opens 3 months before the class is scheduled.
• Wait-lists will be held until 1 month prior to the scheduled class.
• Payment in full must be received to hold one's place in a class (cash or checks accepted only).
• Class supply lists, pre class preparations, and directions are received once payment has been made for a class.
• Class fees are determined by dividing the instructor's charges by the number of participants an instructor determines to be ideal for the project.
