Workshop Policies (a.k.a. The Fine Print Made Fun )

Hey there, art friend! Before we dive into all the watercolor magic, here are a few quick notes to keep things running smoothly:

• Age Policy: No kiddos under 12, please. All minors must be joined by a paying adult at all times.
• Refunds & Cancellations: Life happens, but I can’t offer refunds or credits — and that includes missed classes. I’m a small business, and every spot counts — thanks for understanding and helping me keep prices fair for everyone!
• Supplies: Everything you need is provided! Please don’t bring your own supplies — I promise it’s easier (and prettier) when we’re all painting from the same palette.
• Arrival: Arrive a few minutes early to settle in, grab a sip or snack, and say hello! We’ll start right on time because these classes are jam-packed with creativity from start to finish.
• Food & Drinks: BYOB (and snacks)! Bring your favorite treats and beverages to make your creative night extra cozy.

Now let’s paint, laugh, and make something you’ll love hanging on your wall!
