3. FEES, CANCELLATION, & RESCHEDULING

​

3.1 The base fee is *non-refundable and is due in full upon reservation in order to secure your party date and time. 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).

 

3.2 The base fee includes up to 6 participants and up to 2.5 hours of step-by-step instruction.  If you have fewer than 6 participants, you are still required to pay the base fee.

 

3.3 If you have more than 6 participants attending, additional fees will apply ($45/additional participant).

 

3.4 Depending on your location, a travel fee may apply.  Round trips that are 50km or less from Chesterville, Ontario (K0C 1H0) do not incur a travel fee.  Round trips that exceed 50km are charged at $1.20/km above and beyond the initial 50 km. 

 

3.5 Any and all additional fees owing above and beyond the base fee; such as additional participant fees and/or Service add-ons (see Section 6.) will be included in the final invoice and due in full the day the Service is provided before Rose leaves the venue. 

 

3.6 In order to ensure quality instruction, the Service is capped at 30 participants.

 

3.7 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!

​

5.1 The Studio does not provide tables or chairs.  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.

 

5.2 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).  

 

5.3 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.

6.1 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 before Rose leaves the venue.
