Class Dates



We only allow 6 students at a time and classes fill up fast so if you are interested, please give us a shout. On the front page we keep the availability countdown so you know how many spots are open. Classes are held Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Class times are, Fridays start at 1PM, Saturday and Sunday start at 10AM. Please expect a 5-6 hour day. Some may be more, some less depending on the abilities of students. We do not have class during the fall as the studio gets too busy in our studio for us to attempt this. We will not hold a spot unless we receive a deposit of no less than $500 – $1,000..balance due upon beginning of class. We do not have any funding at this time.
