Q: How do I register my child for a class?
A: Go to our shop, add the class you want to register your child for into your cart, and check out and pay like you would with any other online shop. After registering, within 24 hours you’ll receive a confirmation email with a receipt which you’ll want to print and bring with your child to the first day of their Summer Sketch Club class.
Q: Can I sign up my child for more than one art class?
A: Yes! Sometimes in years past, we have only let children register for one class initially and then be on a waiting list for another class. But this year we’re going to simplify things and keep everything first come, first serve. So yes, you can register your child for both a watercolor class and an acrylic on canvas class. But you can’t register your child for two watercolor classes/two acrylic classes.
Q: What if I accidentally register my child for the wrong class?
A: When you register your child, please make sure to read through all the class information (dates, times, ages of kids) before checking out to avoid having this problem. But if you do accidentally register your child for the wrong class, or if you register them for a class and realize later you have a conflict, please fill out our contact form immediately and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible to help you get your child switched into the correct class.
Q: My child is turning 9 in the summer/fall. Should I register them for a 6-8 year old class or a 9-11 year old class?
A: The 6-8 year old class is geared toward children who will be entering first through third grade in the fall, while the 9-11 year old class is geared toward children who will be entering fourth through sixth grade in the fall. If your child is between 8-9 years old, you can make your best judgment on whether the younger or older group would be a better fit for them based on the grade they’ll be entering, or if they have friends participating in one group or the other. If you’re still confused about which class would be the best fit for your child, fill out our contact form and we will be in touch with you shortly.
Q: Can I get a refund if my child can’t attend the art class I registered them for?
A: We strongly encourage you to make sure a class works with your schedule before registering, but we know sometimes things come up and we are happy to help you work things out by either switching your child into a class that works better for your schedule or giving a refund if that option won’t work for you. Please contact us as soon as possible to work things out if this situation arises, as we can only give refunds up to 3 business days before the first day of a class in order to fill the class vacancy.
Q: Is a t-shirt included?
A: Yes, we provide a free t-shirt to every individual child that registers for a class. After registering their child for an art class, parents will receive an email with confirmation info and a link to fill out a little form where their child can choose which color of t-shirt they want from several color options. This year, we have a brand new t-shirt design and logo that we’re very excited about! (Please note that in the event that one child registers for two classes, they still receive one t-shirt as we cannot provide multiple free t-shirts to the same child).
Q: Does my child need to bring anything with them to Summer Sketch Club?
A: After registering for a class and filling out a form with your child’s information, you’ll receive a registration confirmation page by email with instructions to present it when your child checks in on the first day of Summer Sketch Club (you can print it out or show it to us on your phone). Other than that, your child doesn’t need to bring anything with them to the art classes, and all art supplies they will use during the class will be provided.
Q: Do I need to buy an art kit in your shop for my child to use during their art class?
A: No, all art supplies the children use during Summer Sketch Club classes will be provided. The art kits we offer in our shop are for anyone to purchase and enjoy, and we can ship them anywhere in the USA. Our art kits include instructions and tips, and the supplies are long-lasting and durable, so they can encourage many hours of productive creativity. We think they are a perfect screen-free antidote to summer boredom, and make great birthday or holiday gifts! Click here to see the art kits in our shop.
