I’m so glad you’ll be joining me for colored pencil art classes! Whether you're a first-time student or returning for another round of creativity, please take a moment to review the policies below.
Parents—if your child is attending, I kindly ask that you read through these together.
As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Refund Policy
If I need to cancel a class, I’ll notify you via email, ideally at the beginning of the month whenever possible.
Please make sure to check your email regularly for updates.
In the case of a last-minute cancellation, I may also send a text message.
*Please reply to the text to confirm you’ve received the message.
Your class fee will be prorated or credited accordingly.
Class Cancellation
If weather conditions make travel unsafe, I’ll contact you via email or text at least 2 hours before class.
If you're traveling from outside McKinney, please use your best judgment and let me know if you can’t attend safely.
Inclement Weather
Some classes include students as young as 10, so let’s all help create a focused, respectful environment:
-
Keep language and conversation appropriate for all ages.
-
Music is welcome via headphones, but please stick to PG-rated content.
-
Devices may be used for reference photos or music, but avoid games, social media, and unrelated texting.
-
Students may text parents for pickup coordination, but screen use should be mindful and limited.
Reference Photos:
Please come to class prepared with your supplies and a printed reference photo.
If you're starting a new project, brainstorm and print your image at home. While I do have some books available, students often spend too much class time browsing and end up settling for a “meh” choice. Let’s use our creative time wisely!
Breaks:
School-aged students may take brief stretching or restroom breaks, but must remain inside the classroom for safety.
Class Conduct & Expectations
Thank you for being thoughtful, prepared, and respectful of our shared creative space.
I look forward to making beautiful art together!
