  • 1. I will be out of town for one of the classes. Are there make-up classes or can I participate in another class on a different day?

However, you’ll have access to over 40 hours of open studio time each week to practice outside of class. We recommend notifying your instructor in advance so they can help you catch up on anything you might miss.

    2. I’m trying to get into a class, but everything is always sold out. Any tips?

    We understand the frustration! Our classes do sell out quickly—some within seconds. To improve your chances, we suggest setting a reminder or alarm to register as soon as sign-ups open. You can also fill out our waitlist form to be added to our mailing list and receive early notifications.

    4. I have a gift card. Can I use it for a 6-week class?

    Yes! To secure your spot, please register using your credit card, especially if you’re registering on opening day. Once enrolled, reach out to us via email or phone, and we’ll refund your credit card and process the payment with your gift card. We apologize for the extra step, but this is the only way we can apply gift cards to classes.

    5. I tried to register for my friend, but now the class is full!

    To ensure you and your friend can get into the same class, we recommend both of you enrolling at the same time on your own devices as soon as registration opens. Spots fill quickly, and it’s best to act fast!
