classes are to be purchased at Uptown Fibers.

Payment is due at time of registration. No spaces can be held without payment.

Teachers are paid by student fees alone, and are not paid an hourly rate by the shop.
Refunds are not given later than 3 days prior to the start of the class unless the class is
cancelled for lack of participation.

When you sign up, be sure that you are able to attend every session. There are no
refunds for missed classes, and make-up sessions may not be possible. In an
emergency situation, a make-up class may be considered by private arrangement with

class information. In the event that the class is cancelled by Uptown Fibers, refunds will
be given in the same form of original payment.

Good class manners: In consideration of others, please do not wear any fragrance to class.
All cell phones must be off or in silent mode. Arrive at least 10 minutes early to get settled.
Bring all your knitting notions. Please plan time to do your homework, and come to the shop to

match the class requirements. Thanks for your consideration of these good class manners as
they will make everyones experience much more enjoyable!
