September Mid-Month Update |
|
|
In-Person Classes Restarting Based upon the anonymous survey recently conducted, Unwind has determined there is enough interest to move forward in offering in-person classes. |
|
|
To facilitate social distancing the conference tables have been removed and small individual tables will be used. To begin, each session will be limited to (4) students and an instructor. We are testing in person classes with only a couple classes to make sure we have all the safety protocol in place to insure the health and safety of everyone. All students who were attending classes previously will be called to confirm their preference; in-person group sessions, private sessions or Zoom sessions. We will address any questions or concerns you have during these calls. The target date for in person group sessions is the first week full week in October. If you did not previously take classes at Unwind and would like to join a group knit or crochet class, please call or email to let us know. Group classes will be 1-1/2 hours. In-person private lesson sessions are 20 minute sessions. The price for either of these options is $15. Classes must be paid in advance. Should a student need to cancel, a 48 hour notice is required to be considered for a credit towards future classes. Credits will only be issued if the seat is filled by another student. |
