Can’t Make It To Class?
If you register for a class and are unable to come, we still have to pay the instructor. If you cancel your class 5-days in advance, we then have enough time to try to fill your spot, and we will be glad to give credit toward another class. If you planned on taking a beading class your credit would be for another beading class or for beading merchandise. So, please write your class dates on your calendar and if you find a conflict, let us know as soon as possible. If you cannot cancel your class with a 5-day notice, we would still appreciate a call; there may be someone on a waiting list who would love to take the class, and if we can fill the space we will give you credit as described above! If you can’t come on short notice for a beading class with a kit, we will still hold your class kit here at the store for two months time so you can pick it up.
