2.2. We reserve the right to vary or withdraw the Service described on the website without notice including but not limited to fee adjustments.

​
3. FEES, CANCELLATION, & RESCHEDULING
​

3.1 Once we have confirmed your party date, you will be sent a time-sensitive reservation link.  You are required to pay the base fee deposit via this link within 24 hours in order to secure your party date and time.  If payment is not made within this timeframe, your party date will become available to the public once more.

 

3.2 The base fee is *non-refundable. If you choose to cancel the Service or if some/all of the participants do not attend your party you will not be refunded the base fee.

​

(*The only exception when it comes to refunding the base fee is if the Studio cancels your Service, in which case you will be refunded the base fee in full).

 

3.3 The base fee includes up to 6 participants and up to 2.5 hours of instruction/creative time.  If you have fewer than 6 participants, you are still required to pay the base fee.

 

3.4 If you have more than 6 participants attending, additional participant fees will apply.  Additional Participant Fees will be due in full the day the Service is provided before the party ends.

​

3.5 We require your total participant number a minimum of 10 days before your Service date.  This will ensure Rose is able to purchase adequate art materials! *Depending on Studio inventory, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests for additional participants.  Please don't hesitate to ask!

​

3.6 In order to ensure quality instruction, the Service is capped at 12 participants for in-Studio art parties and 30 participants for out-of-Studio art parties.

 

3.7 Depending on your location, a travel fee may apply for out-of-Studio art parties.  Round trips that are 50km or less from the Studio location do not incur a travel fee.  Round trips that exceed 50km are charged at $1.20/km above and beyond the initial 50 km. 

​

3.8 If you need to reschedule your Service, please let us know a minimum of 14 days before your original Service date to avoid being charged a rescheduling fee.  Rescheduling requests made with less than 14 days' notice will be charged a *non-refundable $50 rescheduling fee, due in full upon rescheduling.

4. SET UP & TAKE-DOWN FOR MOBILE ART PARTIES
​

4.1 The Studio does not provide tables or chairs for mobile art parties.  You are responsible for providing and setting up tables and chairs ahead of time.  Please provide adequate table space for each participant to lay a 16" x 20" canvas in front of them (we do not use easels), a paint palette, brushes, and a water cup.

 

4.2 The Studio does not provide protective table coverings.  While the paint we use is typically washable on hard surfaces, it might permanently stain some surfaces. We highly recommend you protect your table(s) by using a disposable table covering(s).  

 

4.3 The venue must be made available to the Studio one hour prior to the Service start time and one hour after the Service end time, so as to enable the Studio to set up and take-down art materials.

​

6. MISSING/LATE PARTICIPANTS & SERVICE ADD-ONS​

6.1 Rose will start instruction at the reserved time regardless of missing/late participants.  Rose will do her best to bring late-arriving participants up to speed, however, please note that instructions for said participants will be condensed so as to fulfill overall instructions for the group within the reserved time period.

 

6.2 Please note, every artist creates at a unique pace and it is common for some participants to not finish their painting within 2.5 hours.  If Rose's schedule permits, you are welcome to extend the Service hours to accommodate late finishers.  Additional time is charged at $30/30-minute increment and will be included in the final invoice and due in full the day the Service is provided.

​

7. CLOTHING

 

7.1 Please ensure participants wear art-friendly clothes as making art is messy and may result in permanent stains.  We do not provide smocks/aprons.
