Brush Buddies Club Tuesdays (morning, afternoon or evening classes)
Fees are $9.00 per session or 4 sessions for $30.00
Sessions run: 10 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. OR 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. OR 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. 

Brush Buddies is an opportunity to get those unfinished project completed or start on a new project of your choosing. Attendees often use this time for prepping pieces for classes, starting a project that they have been wanting to paint but just couldn’t get to it at home, or finishing a project that has been in the “UFO” (un-finished objects) pile. These classes are intended as independent working sessions; however, sometimes assistance is required and I’m there to help you out as I can. Come out and enjoy a cup of coffee, lots of laughs and the enjoyment of painting with other painters.

JUST A REMINDER:

Students are requested to provide the following for every class:

• Paper towels or rags
• Palette paper pad (for blending/floating)
• Tracing paper
• Graphite paper (black & white)
• Stay-wet palette for acrylic classes/dry palette for oil classes
• Pen, Pencil, Ruler, Tape, Scissors, etc.

Artfully Toled Studio carries basic supplies for classes, and if I don’t have the items in stock, I can order them for you - or recommend alternatives to suit your painting needs.

For the convenience of all students attending a class, please ensure all preparation work is completed prior to the first class. All classes start on-time. Please arrive a few minutes early to allow time for getting set-up and ready for class.

Students may wish to bring along indoor shoes or slippers as the basement can be a little chilly on the feet.

Class Fees & Cancellations:

Class sizes are limited due to space. The only way to ensure a spot is to register early for the class of your choice.

Entire registration fee is payable at time of registration. I accept Visa, Mastercard, Debit and cash.

Classes missed will not be refunded or credited to another class. Cancellations must occur at least 1 full week prior to the date the class starts and are subject to a $15.00 administration fee.

If there are insufficient paid registrations for a class and I have to cancel a class, you will be notified and your registration fee will be fully refunded or a studio credit issued.

For the considerations of your teachers and other students attending the class, students please make sure all pre-class preparations are completed prior to the class. All classes will start on-time so please arrive a few minutes early to get set-up before class start time. Thank-you.

Wait-listing for a full class:

Due to limited class room space, classes being offered often fill before you get a chance to get your registration in. If there is a particular project that you are interested in and the class is full, please let me know. I will every effort to schedule an alternative date for another class if there is sufficient interest.

Some of the larger sized projects (such as floor cloths and large landscape pictures) we limit the class size to 5 to provide sufficient working space for all students attending. So remember to let me know if there is particular class that you are interested in and you want me to look at scheduling an alternative date.
