Tina Williams Art Policies:
Age Policy: No kiddos under 12, please. All minors must be joined by a paying adult at all times.
Refunds & Cancellations: Life happens, but once we’re within 7 days of class time, I can’t offer refunds or credits — and that includes missed classes. I’m a small business, and every spot counts — thanks for understanding and helping me keep prices fair for everyone!
Supplies: Everything you need is provided! Please don’t bring your own supplies — I promise it’s easier (and prettier) when we’re all painting from the same palette.
Arrival: Arrive a few minutes early to settle in, grab a sip or snack, and say hello! We’ll start right on time because these classes are jam-packed with creativity from start to finish.
Food & Drinks: BYOB (and snacks)! Bring your favorite treats and beverages to make your creative night extra cozy.
Please note, these policies are separate and independent from the ArtSpot
