A Little Studio Update ❤️
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a small update with you.
As you probably know, everything around us has been getting more expensive — art materials, rent, power, all of it. Running the studio has become more challenging than before.
To keep the studio healthy and sustainable (and to keep giving the kids the quality guidance and materials they deserve), there will be a small tuition adjustment starting next term.
I’ve also created a new One-Year Study Fee option for families who plan to stay long-term. It’s designed to give a bit more stability and value. Details are below.
Thank you so much for being part of this little creative community. I truly appreciate your trust and support. This studio means a lot to me, and I’m doing my best to make it grow in a healthy way for everyone.
If you have any questions at all, just message me. I’m always happy to chat.
With gratitude,
Hong

The studio fee will remain at the agreed rate for the full one-year period and will not be affected by any price changes during this time.
2. Withdrawal & Refund
If you wish to withdraw from the programme, 2 weeks’ written notice is required.
Any refund will be calculated based on the current studio rate at the time of withdrawal, and the remaining unused balance will be refunded accordingly.
3. Transfer of Fees
The one-year study fee is transferable to another student.
The studio must be informed in advance, and the new student must meet the age and skill requirements of the class.
Transferred fees will continue from the current course progress and will not be recalculated.

For absences due to personal reasons, at least one week’s notice by phone is required.
Make-up classes or refunds may be offered at the studio’s discretion, depending on the situation, but are not guaranteed.
If a class is cancelled by the studio, the session will be rescheduled or a make-up class will be arranged.
5. Pausing Lessons
The one-year study fee may be paused upon request.
If you wish to pause lessons, please discuss this with the studio in advance and choose one of the following options:
• Freeze the remaining balance for future use; or
• Receive a refund of the remaining balance, calculated based on the current studio rate at the time the pause is requested.
During the pause period, the original class time slot cannot be guaranteed.
6. Public Holidays & Schedule Changes
Classes on public holidays will be advised by the studio in advance.
Class schedules may be adjusted due to holidays or special circumstances.
7. Student Behaviour & Materials Fee

The studio charges a basic art materials fee, which covers standard materials used in regular classes.
Special materials or exhibition-related fees, if required, will be advised separately and in advance.
Intentional damage to studio equipment or materials may require compensation.
