Arriving for class
Coming from the east side? If Circle Drive is heavy traffic - sail through to Airport Drive for access to Cynthia Street - it might be less stressful.
Doors are locked until five minutes before class begins. We have just a short amount of time between classes to clean up and prepare of the next.
Entrance and exit from the studio is now one way - the doors are clearly marked.

What to Bring
Students should arrive dressed for art and bring:
-
Water bottle (with water in it).
-
Make sure your student is wearing socks! Shoes are removed before moving into a studio space.
-
All supplies are included in the class fee!
-
We have aprons!
Other drinks, or any snacks are not permitted in the studio.

Parents
Once class begins the doors are locked
There is no waiting area inside the studio
Bathrooms are for student and instructor use only
However, there will be "art walks" when we invite parents in at the end of class to check out student artwork. (It's good practice for the art show).
First Art Walk : TBA - and will be noted on your class page.

Parking
Watch out for the parking lot - it's really tight - especially when reversing out of a space!
You can actually drive all the way round the building - this also makes un-parking and exit easier and faster!
I'm also going to say here, because visibility is poor, watch out for the little ones!

Absence
When your student is unwell please do not send them to class.
If you can let us know by email classes@funkyartsmiths.com before class begins that would be great.
Studio assistants work with your student one on one to catch them up in their next class,
There is not space in another class for your student to catch up, no matter the reason for absence.

Artwork
Artwork stays at the studio until after the art show., Each student has a portfolio which keeps everything pristine and in one place!
we do try to take photos of finished artwork & upload to ARTSONIA, an online art museum, where we have a Funky Artsmiths gallery. You will receive an invitation to join, view your students artwork and invite friends and family to do so too.

Class Page
There is a webpage for each class day. You will have already received the link - but they are added below for your convenience.
Your class page contains calendar links and pertinent information you might need - please refer to the class page before contacting the studio.

Weekly Update
At the end of each class day, there is a brief update to the class page, (links below) a photo is added as well as any sketchbook assignment or things to remember for the next class.
You will also find links to local art store sales, gallery shows and event.

Studio Assistants
Studio Assistants volunteer their time to help out with a younger class. These students are typically in grade seven and up and have been a Funky Artsmith student for at least two years. ...
They also like to "borrow" my phone for selfies!
