Upon receipt of a booking we will endeavour to contact you as soon as possible to confirm the booking. However we cannot be held responsible for loss of booking forms and cheques sent by post. Our classes can accommodate a limited number of painters and to be fair to everyone we have a ‘first come, first served’ system for places. We cannot accept verbal, email or postal requests to hold places.

4. PAYMENT BY CASH

Please do not send cash through the post! We cannot accept any liability for loss.

5. CANCELLATIONS BY YOU

Some classes are very popular and we may have a list of extremely keen people on “stand-by” in the event of a cancellation.  Please give us as much notice as possible if you are unable to attend a class that you have booked.  Please telephone us on 01903 692874 (you can leave a message if we are not available to speak to in person). 
-  If more than 24 hours notice is given, we will refund your deposit in full or if you prefer we can carry it over to another class. 
-  If less than 24 hours notice is given, and we are able to fill your booking we will refund your booking. In the event that we are unable to fill your place we will send you a £20 gift voucher to use at a future class.
- Where no contact is made, we are unable to refund any part of the booking fee. 

6. CANCELLATIONS BY US.

In the unlikely event that we must cancel a class you will have the option of transferring to another class (subject to availability) or of having a full refund of your deposit. We will not be liable for any losses (including, but not limited to, travel and accommodation costs) arising as a consequence of any cancellation of classes.

7. NON-ATTENDANCE

8. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

The class fee includes the cost of painting materials (including a canvas and all paints etc) which will be required for the day unless otherwise stated at the time of booking. All other equipment (brushes, easel etc) are loaned to you for use on the day of the class. If you should loose, mistreat or damage any item of equipment we will ask you to pay for a replacement item.

9. CONDUCT

Those attending our classes are expected to conduct themselves in a reasonable manner and to recognise that others attending will also require support and assistance. If a student becomes persistently disruptive we reserve the right to offer a verbal warning and, if this does not resolve the situation, we may, at our discretion, ask that person to leave the class.

10. RECORDING
