Studio policy

Calm by design — for you and the artist.

We work in one quiet room with limited foot traffic. The policies below exist so the studio stays comfortable for everyone in the chair.

  • Come alone

    Please come to your appointment alone unless previously agreed. We try to keep the workspace quiet — fewer people in the room, more focus on your piece.

  • Service animals + assistants

    If you have a disability and need an assistant or service animal with you, that's no problem at all. Let us know ahead so we can prepare.

  • Reschedule penalty-free if unwell

    If you've been ill or recently exposed to someone who has, please reschedule. We'll find you another date and your deposit stays put.

  • Masks welcome

    We keep masks on hand and are happy to wear one on request. If you'd prefer your artist masked the whole appointment, just say.

  • Door is locked

    At all times. Call (226) 647-8286 from outside and we'll let you in. The number is also on the door.
