Materials & Supplies

Ongoing Classes & Workshops

Ongoing classes are designed to provide students the opportunity for continuous learning in an open, individualized studio environment. New students are welcome at any time unless otherwise noted. To fit your schedule, members may prorate ongoing classes by registering for the specific dates they wish to attend each month.

Workshops provide an in-depth class experience and are offered for a finite period. Students enrolling for a workshop are required to pay for all scheduled classes at the time of registration. Workshops cannot be prorated.

Class Cancellation & Refund Policy

No refunds, credits, or transfers will be issued for ongoing classes unless the League must cancel an ongoing class due to low enrollment, for which a 100% refund will be issued. A 75% refund will be issued for workshops only if a student cancels at least 14 days prior to the start of a workshop. Find more information and download refund request form here.

Figure Model Policy

Nude and clothed/costumed male and female figure models are used for study in some courses. No photography of nude models is permitted at any time, and photography of clothed/costumed models is permitted only in instructed classes after a photo release, signed by the model, faculty and students, has been submitted to the office. Please contact the office for more details on this policy and the use of models in particular classes and workshops at ASLD.
