Our class sizes are very limited and your place in one is reserved by your payment on a first come basis. Your place in class is not held until we receive your payment.

If a class is cancelled, we will inform you of the cancellation within 7 days of the class and we will refund your payment in full. While we love sharing our craft and we appreciate everyone who wants to learn to weave, please understand that there is a significant amount of time and materials invested in the preparation of the looms for these classes. We understand that sometimes circumstances beyond your control may arise and can prevent you from attending our class, however your cancellation does not reduce our time and materials invested, therefore we must charge a $20 fee for cancellation. Students, who cancel prior to 14 days of the date of the class, will receive a refund minus the $20 cancellation fee. No refunds will be issued for cancellations and class fees will be forfeited if students cancel 14 days or less from the date of the class unless we can fill your place with another student. If we can find a replacement for you, we will then issue a refund minus the $20 cancellation fee. We reserve the right to deviate from this policy at our discretion on an individual basis. This is not to say that we would change the refund policy for anyone who was already involved in the policy, we stand by those guarantees, but we reserve the right to make exceptions.
