Payment

Payment in full is required at the time of registration. We accept cash, checks (on-site only), and all major credit cards. Please note, a 3% processing fee applies to credit card payments. To avoid this fee, you may pay with cash or check on-site. Be sure to review course descriptions for details on dates, times, format, and required supplies. After registration, GoggleWorks will send an email confirmation.

Cancellations & Refunds

If a student needs to withdraw from a class or workshop, GoggleWorks will provide a full refund, less a $20 cancellation fee, if the cancellation is made at least seven days prior to the class start date. Refunds or pro-rated options are not available for missed classes. Cancellations made within one week (seven days) of the class start date are not eligible for a refund. GoggleWorks reserves the right to cancel any program due to insufficient enrollment. If a course is canceled, you will be notified via email at least one week prior to the start date and will be offered the option to transfer to another course, receive a class credit, or obtain a full refund. In the event of a class or workshop cancellation due to inclement weather, a makeup date will be scheduled.

*Summer Camp only: If campers choose not to continue after the first day, a 50% refund is available.

Location

Classes at GoggleWorks are held in various locations across campus, depending on the medium of the course.

If you’re unsure where your class will meet, our Community Ambassador at the front desk will be happy to assist you upon your arrival. Our facility is fully accessible. If there anything we should know to help you have a positive class experience, please include a note in your registration.

Minors

GoggleWorks requires written permission for all students under the age of 18 who are enrolled in any adult course. Please contact programs@goggleworks.org if you are enrolling a minor and a permission form will be provided via email before the start date of the course. This does not apply for Mini-Makers! or Youth & Teen classes.

Waitlists

If a class reaches full capacity, you will have the opportunity to join a waitlist during registration. Should spots become available, students on the waitlist will be contacted in the order they were added. GoggleWorks will also consider adding additional classes or workshops for those that sell out or have a significant waitlist.

Materials & Supply Lists

Most materials required for your course are included in the price of tuition. If additional supplies are needed before the beginning of class, a supply list will be included with the course description online.

Open Studios

All currently enrolled students in wood, ceramics, hot glass, warm glass, and metalsmithing have open studio hours included in tuition or available for purchase. Discounted open studios are only available to students currently enrolled in multiple week courses.

Make-up Dates

GoggleWorks does not offer make-up dates for students who are unable to attend a scheduled class.

Artwork Pickup

If your class or workshop project requires additional treatment after the course concludes, GoggleWorks will notify you via email when the work is ready for pick-up. Please note, GoggleWorks does not ship student artwork. Artwork will be held for 60 days following the course end date. After this 60-day period, the artwork will be considered property of GoggleWorks and may be sold, discarded, or otherwise disposed of.

Class Credits

Class credits can be issued upon request in place of a refund. These credits are linked to your email account and can be redeemed by logging into your account on the GoggleWorks website. Credit codes will be emailed directly to you. Please note that credits expire at the end of each term (spring, summer, fall) and are non-refundable once issued.

Video & Photographs

GoggleWorks reserves the right to use photographs and/or videos taken during classes and other programs to market and promote GoggleWorks and its programs. Any student or legal guardian who does not wish to have his or her child photographed or photographed themselves, is asked to notify programs@goggleworks.org upon registration.

Photographers and hobbyists are permitted to shoot photos in “open to the public” spaces, including galleries, hallways, stairwells. No lighting or equipment may be plugged in for these occasions. Studios 411, 238, and 420 are restricted for photo shoots unless those spaces have been rented and paid for. The photo shoot must not interfere with other guests’ experiences or block any egress routes or pathways.
