Students will receive personal material kits for use over the duration of camps/classes. Materials will be safely filled and stored in the studio until the camp/class is over then students can take material kits home.

We will provide to those in need at no charge.

Staff are required to wear gloves. Gloves are optional for students (but are provided).

All work-spaces, sinks, restrooms, and other touchable surfaces will be sanitized before and after each class/camp.
