Studio Policies

Clear expectations make room for better art. Review the policy cards below before attending a class, private lesson, Studio Pass session, camp, workshop, or group event.

The reservation terms shown during booking apply to the specific service you purchase. Open any policy card for details, or contact the studio before booking if anything is unclear.

Studio Policies at a Glance

  • Advance booking is required because the studio operates by appointment. Review the cancellation, transfer, refund, and rescheduling terms shown at checkout. Contact the studio as early as possible if plans change. If Knoxville Art Studio cancels a session, affected students will be offered an appropriate rescheduling or refund option.

  • Arrive on time so instruction can begin as scheduled. The studio is behind the residence at 6859 Harvest Grove Lane; follow the right-side sidewalk to the back. Parents and guardians are responsible for timely pickup of minors.

  • Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes when appropriate, and choose clothes that may get paint, clay, glaze, or other art materials on them. Follow all instructor directions for tools, equipment, kilns, clay, paint, and studio materials. Tell the studio before class about relevant allergies, sensitivities, accessibility needs, or other concerns that may affect safe participation.

  • Unless a class or workshop specifically states otherwise, pottery firing and glazing are separate from the class booking. Firing time depends on kiln availability and the condition of the work. Pieces must be fully dry and structurally sound; unusually large, thick, hollow, or risky pieces may require special handling, additional charges, or may be declined. Students will be notified when work is ready for pickup.

  • Studio Passes are recurring monthly memberships, and benefits differ by plan. A pass includes only the classes, sessions, materials, discounts, or open-studio access specifically listed for that plan. Attendance and independent studio time remain subject to studio hours, availability, and scheduling.

  • Knoxville Art Studio is a shared learning environment. Treat instructors, students, artwork, equipment, and the studio space with care. Unsafe, disruptive, discriminatory, threatening, or destructive behavior may result in a participant being asked to leave.

  • Student work or class photographs will be shared publicly only when appropriate permission has been received. Contact the studio if you have questions about photography or how artwork may be displayed.

  • Policies may vary by class, camp, workshop, membership, or private event. If a booking description and this page differ, the terms presented for the specific reservation apply. Email info@knoxvilleartstudio.com or call (865) 214-7301 before booking if anything is unclear.
