The
tuition for all 5 day group classes is • Class size is limited to 4 students. Workshops will run if there are fewer students. Once a group workshop is advertised as a group class if it is not fully enrolled the charges will stay the same and the workshop will be held with fewer students. If there is only one student registered for a workshop the daily hours may be reduced or the student may be given the choice of signing up for a workshop with more students. In the event of an unexpected emergency at the school 30 day notice will be given to students enrolled in a workshop and a full refund will be given. A deposit of one half of the amount of the tuition is payable upon registration. The balance of the tuition is due 30 days before the class date. Students can cancel workshop attendance without penalty 30 days before the workshop begins. Registration guarantees a place in a workshop and may prevent other students from occupying that place. Cancellations that take place within the 30 days before a class will be evaluated considering enrolment and a partial refund or rain check may be issued at the discretion of the school. Once a workshop is booked and begins there will be no refunds. . The materials fee will cover use of tools, equipment and general supplies like saw blades, drill bits, emery paper and polishing supplies, and things needed for soldering etc. Students do not have to bring tools or buy special materials for workshops. Part of the materials fee will go toward metals used during the workshop including copper and silver. Because of the increase in the cost of precious metals there may be an additional fee charged if projects exceed the amount allowed for metals used. If students choose to make larger projects that exceed that amount they will be advised that there will be an additional charge. At that time the design can be adapted to stay within the limit if it is an issue. Stones and gold will not be included in the material fee. In Taos, Santa Fe and Albuquerque there are many suppliers that can provide stones, materials and tools. It usually takes a day to ship things to Taos and students will have an option to do special orders. Be prepared with a credit card and tax number if you have one so that you can place an individual order. Most materials and metals used during the class are covered by the materials fee but students often find they enjoy taking advantage of the supplies and stones available here that may not be easily accessible in other places. When time is available students can book individual study classes or small group classes with friends. Charges for individual study classes are quoted below and may vary according to topic, length of the workshop and time of year. The rates indicated are meant to be a guideline.
