Frequently asked questions

Are children allowed to attend this class?

Yes! We are excited for any little aspiring makers to join us in the DIY classes, but we do ask that if your little is under 13 they are accompanied by an adult. Please know that some of our classes use sharp, hot, or otherwise hazardous tools for children’s use.

For classes with alcohol included, will there be non-alcoholic options?

Yes! To substitute the event wine, we have a selection of local non-alcoholic options. Including canned coffee, assorted mocktails, water, or lemonade. Please let an associate know if you require a non-alcoholic option.

Can I bring my own wine+beer or are there beverages available for purchase?

Our alcohol license prohibits the consumption of outside alcohol in our class area. Alcoholic and beverages are available for purchase at our Union Market and Wharf stores. Non-Alcoholic options are also available at Union Market, Wharf, and Old Town stores. Georgetown does not have drinks available

What is your refund policy?

For a full refund to your original payment method, attendees must reach out to the Event Coordinator for a refund 3 days in advance of the class. If after 3 days before the event, a credit to your Eventbrite account will be given.

How can I get a refund or transfer if the class is cancelled?

If an event is postponed, rescheduled, or cancelled, you will receive an email from the Event Coordinator to inform you of your refund options. If there is another upcoming class with the same instructor, you can also choose to transfer your ticket to a new date.

Is the location wheelchair accessible?

Our Wharf, Union Market, Old Town Alexandria, and Charlottesville locations are all wheelchair accessible for the class area. Our Georgetown location has a class area on the second floor that requires going up flights of stairs, so it is not as easily accessible.
