What is your Covid-19 protocol?

  • We ask that students who are staying for a class either show vaccination records or wear a mask in order to limit the risk of spreading COVID-19

  • We will use a no-touch digital thermometer to check for temperatures before students stay for class

  • If you feel any covid type symptoms we ask that you refrain from coming into the studio.

  • We run an air purification system that has 6 layers of filtration, one of which is a HEPA filter. This filters the entire studios air 4 times per/hour.

How many lessons before I am proficient enough to work on my own?

This is different for everyone’s comfort level. However, we suggest beginning students purchase a set of 3 lessons. This will get you through all the stages of work leaving you with the skills and confidence you need to embark on a self-directed project.
