CLASS REQUIREMENTS:

Each class has a minimum and maximum, so early registration is highly recommended to assure you a spot in the class. Class payment is accepted in the form of cash or a personal check made out to ‘Patricia A. Sliney’. Please note that class fees are separate from books, patterns, supplies, class kits and fabric, unless stated otherwise in the class description. Class fees are paid at time of registration, and at that time you will receive a class supply list. Phone/E-Mail registrations will be held for ONE WEEK to allow time for us to receive your payment in the mail. If we do not receive payment within that timeframe, we will open the spot up for another participant. If we cancel a class for any reason, or if the participant cancels one week before the class, you will receive a full refund of the class fee or may choose to transfer your class fee toward another class. Cancellations less than a week before the start of the class, or class no-shows will not be eligible for a refund, with exceptions made on an individual basis, at the discretion of the instructor.
