If a class is rescheduled or cancelled on the day of the session, we will do our best to offer a make-up class on a future date. If we are unable to reschedule, a credit will be issued for the value of the cancelled class(es), which can be applied toward a future program at Art Works.

Behaviour Policy: “Behave Your Best and Dress Your Worst!” Students are expected to respect classmates, instructors, and studio materials.
