My art workshops are designed to foster a welcoming learning environment for artists and enthusiasts. Most classes are open to all experience levels, but some are for intermediate artists – the class listing will indicate what student level it’s suitable for.

Class Registration
Registering is simple, make your class selection and go through the secure check out. Payments are accepted through Square, Stripe or similar. The payment details are safely encrypted through the payment processing service and I do not have access to this information. All classes require full payment for successful registration.

Please make sure the e-mail address associated with your account is your primary e-mail address, as that will be used for all communications.

Refunds & Cancellations
When you book a class or workshop, we save a spot just for you, making it unavailable to others. As such, we are unable to offer refunds for student cancellations.. However, if you cannot attend, you may transfer your registration to another person or be connected with someone on the waiting list, if available. Please note that no refunds or credits are provided for missed classes.

In the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as severe weather or emergencies, the workshop will either be rescheduled or refunded. If enrollment numbers are insufficient during the registration period, sessions may be consolidated, rescheduled, or offered as a workshop credit.

If you let me know in advance that you’ll miss a class in a multi-session workshop, I will do my best to help you work around it.

Workshop credits are valid for one year and can be applied toward future workshops, original artwork, or products.

Preparing For Class
Parking for workshops at Artspace:
There are green signs on Davie, Blake and Person streets for complimentary 2hr parking before 5pm, and free after that unless posted otherwise. Blue signs are for metered parking, red for loading zones. Also convenient to the studio building is the City Market parking lot – it’s economical and can be paid at an electronic station or through a smartphone app.

What to Bring:
Art supplies are included for most classes, but please check the class description for any required or optional materials. 
Aprons are provided, but in case of spills, wear clothes that can get messy.
For longer classes standing in front of an easel, or painting murals, comfortable shoes are recommended. 
Bringing a water bottle and a light snack is always a good idea.

Kids and Teens:
Most classes are designed for older teens and adults, but are often suitable for younger students too. For teens 13 to 16, parents can register and participate in the class too, or remain in the studio building for the duration of the class. For kids 12 and younger, parents need to also register as students and participate in the class. 

The only exception to the above are youth classes specifically purchased through Artspace and not this website. Part of Artspace’s youth class registration includes the necessary forms (and insurance) to allow minors to be dropped off.

Accessibility:
Artspace is wheelchair accessible, but please let me know if a student has limited mobility and/or is accompanied by a personal care attendant. Depending on the number of students registered, I may be able to relocate the class from my studio (max 4 students) to a larger space, but would need notification at least 7 days in advance. Personal care attendants are welcome to accompany the student for the duration of class and are admitted free of charge.
