FAQs
Currently, all classes are taught in person in our Tulsa studio. There are plans for some workshops to be offered in Weatherford, OK this summer. I’d love to come to your community if there is enough interest! Contact me if you have a suggestion or opportunity for speaking or teaching.
No. These are very interactive classes and best experienced in person. But never say never! 😉
In my experience, small classes mean more interaction and learning. If a class is sold out, please get on the wait list. If there is enough demand, additional dates will be added.
If there is interest, yes! This quick survey will help me schedule more topics and classes based on community interest and availability.
No. However, I do recommend taking our iPhone Photography classes in order (there’s simply too much content to cover otherwise!). Levels 1 and 2 are being offered in May.
CHANGE & CANCELLATION POLICY
Workshop and event schedules are subject to change and may be adjusted in order to maintain small class sizes based on demand and availability.
Tickets are non-refundable, unless changes are made by Scissortail Digital, in which case refunds will be made available upon request. If you cancel your seat in class with at least 24 hours (by email), you may transfer the value of your ticket as credit for another Scissortail Digital class within six months. No-shows and cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are not eligible for ticket credit transfer. Some restrictions may apply.
