Make it stand out

Studio Policy

Karismatic Expressions has a policy and procedure to support fulfillment of student as well as teacher obligations. My goal is to provide a supportive, creative atmosphere for artistic skills to grow and develop while sustaining my art business. As such, I extend gratitude and appreciation for your willingness to support me!

 

TUITION 

I sell the individual classes as packages; prices as provided for 4 sessions. We appreciate payment upfront before the start of the first class of each session. The fee includes both instruction and the materials we utilize at the studio except for oil paint and oversized canvasses (12x16” maximum size provided) in which case, additional fees will apply to cover the cost of materials. For your convenience, these additional fees can be billed along with your monthly tuition. Please be aware that class settings could have up to three students per session.

 

CLASS REGISTRATION

I want to save every student’s space in each of the class sessions. To reserve a space, enrollment is not finalized until the full payment is received. If payment is not made before the beginning of class, the student’s place in class may be forfeited. There are no refunds for class cancellations as the classes are small.

 

PUNCTUALITY 

To be respectful of the students, please refrain from coming to class or dropping off your student more than 5 minutes before the class start time. Please attend all classes in a timely manner and see the section below for cancellations.

 

 RENEWAL/CONTINUATION OF CLASSES 

To reserve your spot for continuing classes, the full payment must be made prior to the beginning of the new cycle. Please communicate let me know if there are any issues with renewing the class or payment issues.

 

MISSED CLASSES

I understand that life happens and occasionally classes may be missed. Should a student need to miss a class, please call or text me at least 48 hours prior to the start of the scheduled class. I will be happy to schedule a make-up class (preferably during the same week). Any missed classes due to vacation, illness, emergency situations, doctor appointments, inclement weather, MUST BE MADE UP by the end of the current 4 class session. It is the student’s/guardian’s responsibility to work with me to coordinate the makeup class. If you have any questions regarding this, please communicate with me further. 

*Please keep in mind that classes WILL NOT roll over to a new 4 class session. I will not extend classes to a new week after the 4th class. If the make-up class is not scheduled during the current cycle, the class will be forfeited and there can be no credit or make up class.*

 Please note: Any class that is missed without notice is considered a "no show,” it cannot be made up and no refund or credit will be given for that missed class. Last minute cancellations without a valid excuse will be treated as a “no show”, and the missed class will be forfeited. 

 

SICK POLICY

At Karismatic Expressions, we prefer to share creativity, not germs!

In consideration for others, please refrain from coming to class if the student is feeling under the weather. Additionally, if the student is too sick for work/school, we would appreciate it if they would not come to art class as well. If you have tested positive or have been in contact with someone that has tested positive for COVID-19, please refrain from coming to class. If I’m concerned about the risk to health or well-being of others, I reserve the right to restrict admission to class.   

Please contact me to make special arrangements for a sick day make-up session.

 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

I will generally adhere to the Hamilton County Public School System schedule in the event of inclement weather. If the studio is closed due to weather, I will notify you of make-up classes. If school is delayed, the studio will hold classes at its regular time; however, please contact me if it is not possible for student to attend.  

 

BEHAVIOR

I want the atmosphere to be welcoming and creative in the studio space and as such, any student found to be disruptive during class may be dismissed with no refund. We have a no tolerance policy for disruptive behavior. Please be respectful.

 

CANCELATION/WITHDRAWAL OF CLASS 

If you must withdraw completely from a class session, there will be a cancellation fee of $60. For a withdrawal after the first class, a prorated studio credit will be provided that may be used at any time during the next 6 months.

 

I care deeply about every student’s art instruction and artistic growth. Thank you for choosing Ashes 2 Beauty Artistry and Karismatic Expressions!
