Registration Policy Details:
By making your class deposit, we reserve your space and supplies. For cancellations at least 7 days prior to class, you will receive a store credit for your deposit/payment. Cancellations within 7 days or “no shows” forfeit deposit. There are no exceptions to this policy. Thank you for understanding that as a small business, we cannot absorb the cost of last minute cancellations.
We do not offer make-up sessions for missed classes.
Everyone present during a class must be enrolled in the class. We are excited to see you, but are finalizing set up prior to class, therefore doors open 10 minutes prior to class.
In the rare event that AGA cancels a class, you will receive a full refund.

Guided Open Studio:This form of open studio is for the artist that needs a little reassurance in their work.

While techniques are not taught in open studio, AGA can review/look over the projects being made and offer suggestions or general guidance. Two firings (up to 1 sq foot) is included in each Guided Open Studio. Select days and times, reservation required. Fee is per 2 hour block. Reserve multiple 2 hour block and increase the included firings!
