Q: Is there a calendar where I can view the upcoming workshops?
A: Our upcoming DIY workshop schedule is always pinned to the top of our Facebook page HERE. We start taking reservations here on our website 10-14 days before the event.
Q: What time should I arrive?
A: We ask that you arrive 15-20 minutes before the workshop is to start so that we can begin on time and stay on track. Anyone arriving 15 minutes late or more will not be allowed to enter the workshop AND will not be refunded. We have to maintain a schedule and respect everyone that arrives on time ready to work. Thanks for understanding!
Q: I have a friend who didn’t buy a spot at the workshop BUT would like to tag along. Is this allowed?
A: We are sorry but this is not allowed. Our studio only has space for a certain number of people, because of this and safety issues we cannot allow anyone that does not have a paid spot reserved to come and hang out.
Q: Are there age requirements for your workshops?
A: Yes! ALL those coming to a workshop MUST BE at least 18 years old. ONLY at our Mom & Me Workshops {or kid specified workshops} will anyone under the age of 18 be permitted.
Q: I would like to make more than one project at the workshop. Can I buy two spots and do both projects myself?
A: We are sorry but because of time constraints and the way we instruct, we can only allow each person to make ONE project at each workshop. If there are multiple designs you want to make we suggest that you invite someone to join you {and they also have a purchased spot} to make it.
Q: If I can’t make it, can I give my spot to a friend?
A: Of course BUT if the project you signed up for required you to pick a specific design or personalization, your friend would be making THAT design you picked. We MAKE all our supplies according to your reservation well in advance of the workshop. If you are giving your spot to someone else, PLEASE message us ASAP and we will see if we can accommodate the change. We can not guarantee that this is possible.
Q: What is the price for your workshop?
A: The prices are usually $35-80 depending on the project.
Q: Can I bring food and drinks? What about adult beverages?
A: Of course!! We always have water and sometimes sweet treats but you are more than welcome to bring anything you'd like! Please note that it is the law that you be 21 years of age or older to consume alcoholic beverages.
Q: What should I wear?
A: What ever you feel most comfortable in! We provide full aprons to protect most of your clothing but you could get paint on yourself still so keep that in mind!
Q: I'm not very creative. Are you sure I can do this??
A: For sure!! Our staff will take you step by step through each project to make sure your creation is just as you imagined it would be! We welcome MAKERS of all skill levels!
Q: Do I need a reservation?
A: YES! Because of the custom nature of ALL our projects, we require everyone to have a reservation. However, during our monthly "open paint" sessions reservations are not taken...projects and space are first come.
Q: I have a few friends coming to the same workshop as me, can we sit together?
A: Of course! But make sure at least one of you is there early enough to hold/save seats for your group! OR send us a message at least 24 hours in advance and we will be happy to reserve spots for you to sit together.
Q: I have a large group of friends, can we book a private workshop?
A: Absolutely!! We offer Private Workshops for groups of 12 or more. We can accommodate up to 25! Click HERE for more info on Private Workshops!
Q: Should I bring anything?
A: Nope! We have it all covered!! ALL materials for each project are provided by us! Just bring yourself, and any food or drinks you want to enjoy
Q: What sort of tools/supplies will we be using?
A: All of our projects involve wood. You will be using electric sanders, cordless drills & nail guns to install hanging hardware if applicable, sand paper, latex paints, water based stains and decorative all natural waxes.
Q: If I can't make it to a workshop I have a reservation at, can I just pick up the project materials and make it at home?
A: Our workshop projects are nothing like our Take & Make kits. They require more time and guidance. Because of this, we do NOT allow workshop project materials to be taken home to be completed.
Q: What is the cancellation policy?
A: Due to the custom nature of ALL our workshops, there are NO REFUNDS! However, if you cancel with at least 48 hours notice your FULL reservation fee will be turned into a store credit that can ONLY be used for future workshops. If your cancellation falls within 48-24 hours of the workshop, HALF of your reservation fee will be turned into a workshop credit. If unforeseen circumstances require you to cancel the SAME DAY of a workshop you are scheduled to attend, we suggest you find a friend or family member to come in your place so that you are not out the reservation fee you paid. Same day cancellations or no-shows will NOT get a credit for a future workshop! Please private message us on Facebook or email us {shopnookandcranny@gmail.com} to cancel. If you no show for a workshop that you have a spot reserved, you forfeit your payment.
