Deposits, balance and refunds

You book your seat with a $450 deposit. The balance is due one month before your workshop.

Right now, we’re using workshop revenue to finish building the studio, so we can’t issue refunds. If you’ve booked a workshop, you can always move it to a different date, or use it for custom plate production or remote instruction. Let us know if you have any questions.

Questions

How does the deposit work?

A $450 deposit holds your seat on the date you choose. The rest of the workshop fee is due one month before the workshop begins.

Can I move my booking to another date?

Yes. We can’t issue refunds right now, but you can move your booking to a different date, or use it for custom plate production or remote instruction.

Can I print my plates on my own afterwards?

Yes. Every attendee can have a free remote studio setup with us after the workshop. Remote setups are the best way to get plate printing running, and taking the workshop first means you already know how to pull prints from the plates.

Private and custom workshops

One-on-one instruction, remote studio setups and custom plate production.
