FAQ’s:

What time should I arrive? Please come 10-15 minutes early. This allows us to check you in and get the class started on time.

What should I wear? We suggest comfortable clothing and close toed, non-heeled shoes (athletic shoes are great). If you have long hair, please keep it tied back in a ponytail or bun.

Where can I park? On Sundays, our students are welcome to park in our small parking lot off of Warren Ave. During the week, and when the lot is full, there is free street parking on Summit and on the west side of the block of Kerr between Hubbard and Prescott. Metered parking is available throughout the Short North.

Is there food? A light snack and cold beverages will be provided. Students are welcome to bring their own food or beverages, including alcohol.

Can I buy any extra pastries once I’m there? Unfortunately, our registers will be closed during the class times, so we aren’t able to sell you any goodies. Stop by during our business hours to try our lunch specials and our delicious pastries.

What other classes are you going to be offering? We hope to offer a full range of classes. Have an idea? We’d love to hear it! Check back here, on our website, for all our updated course offerings and schedule.

Can I book a private class for a birthday or bridal shower? Yes! Give us a call and we can discuss the details. The minimum number of students for a private class is 4.
