Studio Rental Policies

One time renters must pay in full before going into the studio. Drop-in renters are also required to fill out the Studio Agreement Form, Credit Card Authorization Form, and Liability Waiver to be kept on file.

Ongoing (weekly) renters must pay in full the day before or we debit the card the day before your rental. If no payment or card does not go through, you will not be allowed to rent and the code on the locks will be changed. Key code is not given until the rent is paid.

Rental times

The space is available when we are not using it for our regular classes and workshops. We have classes every day of the week but many times, especially during the mid-day and weekend evenings we have availability for renting. It is easier to look at our schedule online to see when we are having classes, to see when times are available.

Noise level

We have residents that live above the studio and offices that are beside us. So we need to be considerate of them. Usually it is not a problem, but noise needs to be at a normal level. Loud music after 10:00 pm is not allowed. If there are complaints, you will get one warning. If it happens again, you will no longer be allowed to rent from us.

Closing up

Before you leave you must vacuum the floors, make sure the front doors are locked, (pull on both doors to ensure they are locked), turn off all lights, including bathroom light, reset the thermostat so it is back to the temp it was before, and take your trash. Make sure back door is locked before you leave out the back door.
