  3. Confirm what the session includesCheck whether materials, prepared kits, tools, equipment, a take-home piece or additional studio time are included.
  4. Match the format to the occasionCompare public classes, paint-and-sip sessions, private events, workshops, studio hire and multi-day courses against your group’s schedule.
