Are the fees prorated if I sign my child up after the program has started?
Yes, our registration system updates weekly, so the displayed price reflects the prorated amount for late registrations.

 

Will my child be behind if they start the program late?
While starting at the beginning is ideal, each new medium introduction begins at a beginner’s level. Our system accommodates varying student levels with extra attention and assistance.

We rotate through staple mediums like pencil drawing, pen and ink drawing, pastel drawing, watercolor, ceramics, and acrylic paint. Some years may introduce additional mediums such as printmaking, fibers, collage, gouache paint, and mixed media.

 

Do you do the same projects every year?
While we have staple lessons, each year brings fresh projects with different outcomes, ensuring the program remains dynamic and engaging for returning students.

 

Can my child try a single class to see if they like it?
We don’t offer trial runs for the extended program, but shorter courses are available to give them a taste of the studio environment before committing to the long-term program.
