- Do you give discounts to groups/churches/military/because I’m asking for one?
We do offer discounted classes/parties/promo codes throughout the month at our discretion, those offers will be posted on our calendar or Facebook page. We appreciate all our customers & that you are supporting a locally owned business. We hope that you understand that we set our prices to remain in business, we do not offer discounts if you ask for one. We offer an Artsy VIP membership that gives a discount on all classes for the member.
- What should I expect?
At The Artsy Fartsy Studio, we aren’t your typical art class! Be ready to have a great time in a social and interactive “class”. Our studio is BYOB, so you can sip on a cocktail while creating your very own piece of art. We will have music, laughs, and a plain & simple “Great Time”.
- What should I wear?
Our paints are non-toxic & water soluble, however, they will not come out of fabric very nicely…so wear something that you wouldn’t mind getting paint on. We do provide aprons for your wearing pleasure, and they should catch the majority of any flying paint.
- What if I can’t even draw a stick figure?
Then you are the perfect person for our classes! We have a no pressure philosophy to art. Everyone has an inner artist waiting to be unleashed. Our instructors will guide you through a simple painting step-by-step and you will leave with your very own art that you can be proud of. Feel free to venture out on your own and paint your own thang, if the mood strikes.
- Can I BYOB wine/beer?
Yes, we are a bring your own beverage studio per Arizona Liquor statute 4-244.05 . This allows each patron to bring 40 oz of beer, 750 ml of wine or 4 oz spirits (between 4pm and 2am ONLY). No alcohol is permitted before 4pm- sorry, it’s the law. Any alcohol brought in before permissible time will be seized- JK, don’t do it, seriously.
Non-alcoholic drinks are welcome. You can also bring your own snacks and munchies. Private Parties are welcome to have your event catered by a local restaurant. We do provide a small fridge, bottle openers, & wine glasses for your convenience. We also have complimentary coffee and water.
- Do you do private parties?
Our studio is large enough for several small groups to get together so do not feel like you have to have it all to yourselves. This experience is all about being social! But, if you insist..find more info here.
- What if I need to cancel my reservation?
We understand, sometimes life gets in the way of us having a good time at Artsy Fartsy. We do not issue refunds, but give you credit towards a future class if given at least 24 hrs notice. . If you cancel less than 24 hrs from class time, you will lose half of your registration fee and the remainder will be a credit towards a future class. Pottery Wheel workshops require 48 hrs notice due to the small size. If you cant make it, you can always send someone in your place. No call, no shows will forfeit class fees entirely. A friend cannot cancel your registration 5 minutes before class guys….no no no. You will have 90 days to use any credit you receive. There are no exceptions to this policy.
- When should I arrive?
Please arrive atleast 15-30 minutes prior to the scheduled event time. If you are late for class, we can only catch you up if its in the first fifteen minutes, otherwise you will forfeit your class fee. We ask that everyone come on time for respect to the other guests.
- Can my husband/friend/kid sit and watch while I paint?
Short answer, no. We do not allow observers during classes & workshops. One parent per child may stay at kids workshops. Every seat is a ticket & not guaranteed to have a place to sit.
