Policies
“Welcome to Splashout Art Studios where every effort is made to Tutor Art Education in a professional and responsible manner. I would appreciate personal feedback on any service issues (if they arise). Please read our policies below for your information”.
CLASSES
General Painting: To enrol for General Painting, applicants must have completed Splashout ‘Introduction’ and ‘Intermediate’ courses or have prior learning/experience. (If uncertain, please ring to discuss.)
Intermediate: To enrol for ‘Intermediate Drawing and Painting’ applicants must have completed the Splashout ‘Introduction’ course or have prior learning/experience. (If uncertain please ring to discuss before booking.)
ATTENDANCE/TIMEKEEPING
The Studio opens 15 minutes prior to each session.
The first session of the term is ‘obligatory’ as it covers a detailed briefing of what you need to know and expect. Attendance at this first session is essential.
Clients who are unable to attend this session are asked to notify us and will be encouraged to undertake a future term where they’re able to commit to full attendance.
In the case on non-attendance or lateness, notice is appreciated.
Catch-up time is NOT offered, due to fullness of classes.
WORKSHOPS
Workshop Multiple Booking Discounts: Discounts are available when booking multiple Workshops. Deposits for each Workshop must be paid with booking. The discounts will be applied to the Workshop balances.
Workshop Punctuality: The studio opens 15 minutes prior to each Workshop.
Punctuality is essential as there is a presentation by the Tutor at the start of each Workshop. Any late arrival would disrupt and greatly inconvenience the group and the tutor’s planned process.
Once this presentation commences, the Studio doors will be closed for the briefing and/or demonstration. If this is missed, you would not have the necessary knowledge to attend the remainder of the Workshop.
PAYMENTS
Deposit:
Bookings for classes or workshops can only be made with a deposit or full payment (whichever applies).
