CANCELLATION POLICY
If you are coming from out of town, contact us BEFORE MAKING any non-refundable travel arrangements so we can verify the class has met the minimum and is definitely a go.

All payments are non-refundable, but we do offer partial class credit depending on how much advance notice you give us. If you cannot attend a class, you can always send someone in your place. 

IF WE HAVE TO CANCEL
In the rare case where enrollment is below the studio minimum of 5 students, the teacher has the right to cancel on the Monday prior to the class. If a class is cancelled you will be contacted using the phone number and/or e-mail address that you gave when signing up. You will have a choice of a full refund or a credit for any future class.

CLASS LOCATION
Unless otherwise specified, all classes are held at Albany Barn located at 56 Second Street in Albany, NY  12210.  

WHAT TO BRING
Yourself

WHAT NOT TO BRING TO CLASS
As much as we love pets, some people are allergic to them, so we have to ask that you leave them at home. Also, do not show up for the class with any additional people (that includes spouses, babies or small children). Unexpected guests often cause distractions that are not appreciated by paying customers.

PHOTO & VIDEO POLICY
We DO allow photos to be taken during classes, but unfortunately NOT any videotaping (on phones, cameras or video cameras). It's the only real way for us to protect our intellectual property. Please try to be inconspicuous as you take pictures - not taking shots of any other students without their permission or getting in the way of anyone's "class experience." And if you end up with any great shots, we’d love it if you would email them to us! Thank you for understanding.

MINIMUM AGE & KIDS CLASSES 
Our classes are designed for adults, but If you feel your child is mature enough to attend a class with or without you, please discuss it with us before signing up (as some classes are better for young people than others). We occasionally offer classes specifically for those under 18.  We do offer private parties if you have a group of young people (or adults) who want to do a class for a special occasion. If interested, contact us with as much advance notice as possible (2 months is ideal, but less time might work if we have an available dates).

RETURN POLICY 
For Soap, eClass Handouts, and Supplies, all sales are final. However, we want you to be happy. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us: [email protected]
