HEALTH + SAFETY BEST PRACTICES
We continue to ask anyone attending our programs and events to follow best practices when it comes to general health + safety protocols:
■ DO NOT attend our programs when exhibiting any symptoms of contagious illnesses
■ Be respectful of each other
■ Pick-up + drop-off personnel for minors (and any adult that is not registered) must remain outside the studio to help reduce traffic at our studio + keep everyone safe!
■ Thorough cleaning and sanitizing protocols will remain in effect throughout our studio
■ Follow good hygiene habits, including the use of hand sanitizer, available throughout the studio
■ NON-ESSENTIAL ITEMS Please do not bring any non-essential items to our studio like extra clothing, bags, toys, scooters, or bicycles!
■ DRINK + NUT-FREE SNACKS If you bring drinks and nut-free snacks to the studio, please do not share them with other students or members of staff. Please keep all personal belongings to yourself.
PARENTS + CAREGIVERS FOR MINORS
■ All kids and teen classes + camps are DROP OFF ONLY.
■ This is for the safety of all our students + staff as we limit traffic to our studio at this time. If you are dropping off or picking up a minor please DO NOT ENTER OUR STUDIO. At pick-up, kindly wait outside for your child. We understand the curiosity and want to enter an Art Studio (we know- they’re fun!), but please resist the urge.
■ Toddler Students: The only exception for attending with a minor is for Toddler students, in which case we require ONE PARENT OR CAREGIVER to attend. Toddler classes are not drop-off classes. No other parents or siblings can attend unless registered for a class
■ If you are signing up on behalf of a minor student, please brief your children so they know what is expected of them prior to attending.
■ We also ask in our adult programs that if you have someone picking you up they meet you outside the studio and DO NOT ENTER at any time unless registered for a class.
WALK IN POLICIES
Please read the below information carefully before attending programs at our studio.
■ To visit the studio, please make an appointment by email.
■ Prior registration is required on our website to attend any of our classes, camps, or events.
■ If you are not registered and show up to our studio hoping to take a class or camp without booking, and there is room for you and you are accepted to join, you will still be asked to fill out our Class Waiver or Camp Waiver at the time of arrival.
■ Filling out the waiver takes a few minutes as check-in is busy with temperature checks, so it will delay your start time. We strongly advise you to register on our website before showing up as the waiver is part of the registration process.
■ Payment is also due on arrival if you are not enrolled, even if you have attended before, we don’t accept IOUs! There is an ATM machine in Peas + pickles Deli on the corner.
