Class Preparation & Safety Tips

What should I wear to my class?

  • Closed-toe shoes are required.
  • Do not wear flowing clothing, such as long skirts or shirts with bell sleeves, as these can catch on tools and equipment.
  • Cotton clothing is recommended.
  • Our hot shop and gallery reflect the heat from outside - cold outside/cold inside, etc.
  • Long hair should be tied back. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
