Workshops
Programs at AX
AX is pleased to offer programming for children, youth, and adults in a number of disciplines, including painting, metal working, art history and theory, fine craft, writing, pottery and ceramics.
Our workshops range from half day classes to multiple gatherings over several weeks, and we offer instruction from beginner to advanced professional development.
Materials for our workshops are always provided and included in the price of the workshop, unless otherwise stated.
Workshop
Cancellation
Our workshops require a minimum number of registrants to break even after costs, and last-minute cancellations can result in entire workshops being cancelled for all participants – no fun for our instructors or for those who’ve registered for the class. Please review AXs workshop cancellation policy before you register for a workshop.
Disclaimer
At AX, we strive to provide a safe, fun, and educational environment for all participants. Please note that the outcome of your workshop projects may vary depending on individual skill level, materials used, and other factors. Specifically for ceramics, there may be occasional issues during drying or firing that are beyond our control, which could affect the final appearance or integrity of your piece. By participating, you acknowledge that results cannot be guaranteed.
