We are ReOpening!
5622 County Rd. 20 - Only 10 minutes North of Cornwall, ON. (straight up Boundary Rd)
Paint, Draw, Illustrate, Create! Art Classes for every skill level!
Hello Everyone,
I am happy and excited to say that art classes are part of stage 3 in the plan to reopen Ontario! I will do my best to follow the guidelines set out by EOHU and will explain further on in this letter how I intend to do so.
All private lesson students are welcome to give me a call or send me a message to set up a schedule if you wish to resume at this time.
I will hold only a couple of classes for the month of August:
Creative Arts 5-8 (Tuesdays 2pm-3:30)
August 4, 11, 18 & 25
$80 for 4 weeks
Creative Arts 9-12 (Wednesdays 2pm-3:30)
August 5, 12, 19 & 26
$80 for 4 weeks
Creative Arts Teens (Thursdays 2pm-3:30)
August 6, 13, 20 & 27
$80 for 4 weeks
I realize that these options are limited, but I’ve got to start somewhere! 😊
If you are unable to join these scheduled classes, I will be happy to add another if there are 2 or more students who want it. I understand if you would rather make a class of people you know, or of your own family members. I will do my best to accommodate. Private lessons are also an option.
My studio will be open to schedule classes and private lessons Tuesday through Saturday from 10am, with lots of time between classes for cleaning purposes. No drop-ins, please!
Health and safety are especially important, and I’m going to do everything I can to follow the Eastern Ontario Health Unit’s recommendations and guideline protocols, as mandated by law:
- Art tables are arranged so that students are at least 2 metres apart to allow for physical distancing. Classes will be limited to 4 students to allow this.
- Hand sanitizer will always be available.
- All surfaces will be cleaned and sanitized between classes.
- As mandated by EOHU, face masks will be required upon arrival, when moving around the studio, and upon departure. As I only have one entrance and exit, physical distancing will be a challenge. At your table, though, face masks may be removed. PARENTS: PLEASE BE CERTAIN YOUR CHILD KNOWS HOW TO PROPERLY USE HIS OR HER MASK.
- No one will share supplies unless they are from the same family. Some supplies are not “cleanable” (like pastels, for instance) I will rotate the lesson plans so that no two classes use the same supplies in the same week.
- Please stay home if you are sick.
- Please stay home if you have been exposed to anyone who has COVID.
- If you or someone in your family DOES test positive, please contact me so that I can let others in their class know.
This is all very new to me…to all of us! It’s complicated and time-consuming and sometimes more than a little stressful, but I owe it to all my students and the community in which we live to ask you to follow these protocols.
I am not yet certain what my Fall, Winter and Spring schedules will look like, but I’m hoping to continue with the 10-week sessions for each season. All my Adult classes are based on 10 sessions, so they will only resume when I set up my fall schedule. I am not currently planning any adult workshops, but if there is a small group of adults who want workshop-based classes in August, I’m willing to consider it.
Lastly, I welcome all questions and suggestions. Send me an email, message me on Facebook, or call or text me at 613-360-4037.
Thank you, and Keep Well!
Robin
