CLASS INFORMATION
When you sign up for a class, you will choose the class (e.g. ceramics, paintings, sculpture, etc.), the day of the week and the time. You will then always meet that day and time for the duration of the class term. Students meet for 3 hrs per week over the 7 or 8 week class term. A student may sign up for as many classes as he or she likes. However there is no discount for multiple classes.
