Preparing For Your Art Classes
When to arrive
Please aim to arrive between 5-10 minutes early for the class so that we can make sure to start on time. Please don’t arrive earlier than that on a Saturday (without prior arrangement) as the tutors need to clear up and write reports of the last class as well as having a bit of a break before the next class. If you think you will be late or need to contact me on the day, please text Jo Acty on 07754 736078
Access
The studio space is in a level ground floor hall. There are toilets and a disabled toilet all within easy access.
What do I need to bring?
All materials are provided – so there is no need to bring anything, unless you would like to bring along your child’s recent sketchbooks or specific art work to work on. For the regular classes a drink and a selection of cookies, doughnuts and fruit are provided halfway through the class. We do check for nuts but as always please alert us to any food allergies your child might have. For full day workshops students will need to bring a packed lunch and a drink.
What to wear to a class?
Quality materials cause quality stains! We do have aprons but where possible send your child in old clothes, just in case.
How do I bring home art work home afterwards?
We can store wet artwork and work in progress. If you need to pick up work on a day other than your child’s class please contact Jo Acty here
Cancellations
What happens if I need to cancel my place?
Please see below for ArtWorks cancellation policy on the different art class options:
Regular classes
Refunds are available up to 1 week before the start of the course / workshop, minus £50 (which counts as a non-refundable deposit) and a small administration fee.
Change of dates
We are able to offer a change of date of the Regular classes, no later than 1 week before the course is due to start.
Can’t make a session due to illness or holidays?
If you are unable to make a session during the term, we will try to give you an alternative date, but there must be at least 24hrs notice. As the regular classes are fortnightly please try to arrange other commitments around the art class as changing classes is disruptive and can cause over full groups which isn’t fair on the other students in the class who have kept to their proper week
Holiday Classes
We able to offer a refund or change of date of your class, if there are still places up to 1 week in advance of the class.
With less than 1 weeks notice I am unable to offer a refund or change of date.
Cancellations made by ArtWorks
If ArtWorks needs to cancel any event due to illness, a full refund or credit will be given.
If ArtWorks needs to cancel due to adverse weather conditions (e.g. heavy snow), we will attempt to reschedule the students affected or will offer a credit.
