How booking works

Three steps, once.

Square asks first-time visitors to set up an account. It takes a minute, and you only do it once.

  1. Pick a session and date

    The Square schedule shows every upcoming session with its date, time, and instructor.

  2. Set up or sign in

    First time, make a quick account with your phone number. Have a pass? Sign in with the number you used to buy it.

  3. You are booked

    Square sends a confirmation with the date, time, and studio address. Then just show up ready to make art.

First time? See the step-by-step guide

Session passes

Pay as you go, or save with a pass.

No pressure to commit. Start with one session; if you fall for it, a pass brings the price per session down.

Single session · 1 session$60$60 each
Foundation · 4 sessions$230$57.50 each
Momentum · 8 sessions$440$55 each
Dedication · 12 sessions$600$50 each
Atelier · 24 sessions$1,080$45 each

Buying a pass and booking are two separate steps. After you buy, come back here and book the dates you want. Foundation and Momentum passes last 6 months; Dedication and Atelier last 12. A pass is for one artist and cannot be shared or transferred.

Good to know

Before you book.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Square asks you to create a customer account the first time you book, using your phone number. It is a one-time setup, and it is how your session passes are recognised later.

Can I come with no experience?

Absolutely. Beginners are welcome in every session, and all six are open to all levels. Sessions are for ages 16 and up; 16 and 17 year olds should bring an adult to their first session.

Where do I see current availability?

On Square. The live schedule shows every upcoming date and how many places are left, so it is always the current picture.

What if the date I want is full?

Check Square for the next date of the same session, or text the studio at (805) 317-6587 and we will let you know what is opening up.

How do I use a session pass?

Sign in to Square with the phone number connected to your pass when you book, then choose your session. Buying a pass and booking are two separate steps. The step-by-step guide walks through it.

How do cancellations work?

The studio asks for at least six hours' notice to cancel or change a booking.
