Written & Approved by: Chandell Popik
Purpose:
​
The studio aims to engage, educate, and inspire all people regardless of race, age, culture, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and/or socioeconomic status. We are not just a glass art education and retail center; but rather a sanctuary where creativity, imagination and people come together. We hope to inspire and enrich the community and other glass artisans with stimulating artistic and cultural development in working, designing and manufacturing glass elements. We value taking an active role in the community, serving as a voice in glass art education, innovation, and inspiration. Our mission is simple yet profound: to foster an open and welcoming space for people to gather and experience glass art in all its forms.

Class/Workshop Participant Cancellation Policy
​
We know "life happens" and sometimes changes to your class registration need to happen and as a valued customer we are able to offer the following. Please note that accommodating short notice changes is costly for us as supplies preparation, instructor & staffing fees and the loss of revenue from vacant workshop space(s) forfeit us the opportunity to fill short notice cancellations. For cancellations 1 week or greater we first look to re-book your class or workshop at time of cancellation. If a re-booking is not possible, an in-store credit studio account will be set-up for you and your registration purchase will be applied for future use towards an alternate future class/workshop registration or it can be use for shopping with us. For cancellations 72 hours or less, due to the costs of set up, supplies prep, staffing/instructor fees, and the inability for us to re-sell your workshop space(s) on short notice your cancellation will unfortunately have to be considered a forfeited opportunity. Please contact us either by email office@underthesun.glass or call the studio 780-739-1112 to advise us of and class or workshop registration changes you many have.
