Registration at The Drawing Studio is on a first-come, first served basis. If a class is full, we will maintain a waiting list, and if space opens up, notify people in the order they are listed. We do not take reservations for classes to be offered in the following session. A registration is not complete until a financial transaction has taken place.
Waiting until the last minute to register is not advisable. If a class does not have at least 5 people registered in the 3 or 4 days preceding the first session, we usually cancel the class.
