All supplies are provided for STEAM Academies. Nearly all supplies for weekly children’s classes are provided. If additional supplies are required, it will be noted on the course description page or on the first day of class.
Supplies for Adult Classes
Most adult classes require the individual to provide materials. In some cases, additional supplies (ex. clay or copper) are available for purchase at Mark Arts. Where applicable, a supply list will be furnished either on the course description webpage or on the first day of class.
Beginning ceramics and youth clay classes include clay in the cost of class. When clay is purchased at Mark Arts it includes glazing and firing for this clay.

Drop and Refund Policy
If a student drops a STEAM Academy, class or workshop seven days or more before it begins, a 10% processing fee will be assessed, and a refund issued. If it is less than seven days before the first day of the STEAM Academy, class or workshop, no refund will be given or a student may hold that fee for a credit.
Class Cancellation
The first day of each class will be held if three or more students are enrolled to determine if there is sufficient enrollment. If a class is cancelled due to insufficient enrollment, the impacted students will be contacted to determine if they would prefer a class transfer or refund. If a class is canceled by Mark Arts due to insufficient enrollment, a full refund will be issued. Class transfers due to insufficient enrollment will result in a refund of the difference in price or no extra charge if the price of the new class is greater. Refunds may take up to two weeks.
