Please note these are creative classes where paints both acrylic and water based are used. We do not provide aprons so please provide your child with something appropriate that will protect their clothes or supply something they don't mind them getting messy in such as an old t-shirt.

Drop off and Collection Policy

Please be on time when dropping off and collecting your child. Some children can get upset if parents/ carers continually turn up late. Please inform us of who is allowed to collect your child as we will only let them go with an authorised person.  

 All artworks are to be taken home after each session so please come prepared to carry your child's masterpiece (sometimes they will be wet) as we are unable to store any artworks at our locations.

 

Refunds & Cancellations 

If we cannot run a class ourselves due to unforeseen circumstances we will offer you an alternative session to make up for the cancelled session. If you are unable to attend the alternative session then a credit note will be offered.
