Registration

Registration is on a first-come first-served basis. Receipt of deposit secures your space.

 

Wait List Policy

Your name is kept on file in the order it was received for each specific workshop and if there is a cancellation we will contact the next person on the wait list.

Our teachers are popular and many return for subsequent workshops. However, course content, fees and locations are all subject to change, therefore regretfully, we cannot move you from a wait list in a current workshop over to a future one.

To learn when new workshops are scheduled and open for registration please visit our website often and watch for future newsletters.

 

Payment

Cash, check and major credit cards via PayPal
*Note: PayPal processing fee applies.

 

Cancellation Policy

Tuition is non-refundable. If there is a wait list for the workshop you are registered in, we will attempt to fill your spot. If we are successful you will receive a refund of your full tuition less an administration fee of $100.00. Sorry we can not refund the 3% PayPal fee.

Should we need to cancel any workshop that has not attained the minimum number of students you will be contacted by email and may choose another workshop or receive a full refund.

In the case of unforeseen circumstances, including acts of GOD which would cause the workshop to be cancelled once the minimum number of students has been reached, Vancouver Island Art Workshops reserves the right to re-schedule the workshop at a later date.

Students are advised to purchase refundable airline tickets and/or travel insurance.

 

Supply List

Upon receipt of your deposit, we will email you a confirmation of registration along with the supply list provided by the instructor.
