Tuition and Enrollment
Enrollment is limited and advance registration is required. A non-refundable registration fee of $50.00 is due at registration. The remaining balance is due no later than 21 days before the start of the scheduled class.
Class sizes are intentionally kept small and so often will fill up quickly. Registration as early as possible is encouraged. Registering at least three weeks before the course starting date is advised, as classes without the minimum number of students at that time may be cancelled. However, if you find a class you would like to take close to the start date, give us a call. A last-minute cancellation may have left a spot open for you. And we do manage wait-lists for all classes.
Materials Fee
Most classes are subject to a materials fee ranging from $5 – to as much as $350; depending on the needs of the course. This fee is paid directly to the instructor on the first day of class, unless noted otherwise. Materials fees are listed with the course offerings.
Refunds/Cancellations
If it is necessary for the Arkansas Craft School to cancel a class for any reason, students will be notified and offered another class or a full refund.
If a student must cancel a class, they will receive a full refund minus the $50.00 deposit if the cancellation is made 21 days before the start of the class. Those who cancel less than 21 days before the first day of class will not be eligible for a refund.
Scholarships
Scholarships are available to qualifying students. Click here for a printable scholarship application form. Please submit both the scholarship application and the registration form when applying for scholarship. Scholarship eligibility is based on financial need.
Lodging
The Arkansas Craft School’s Artisan Studio is located in the heart of downtown Mountain View, just off the Square, where students can find a motel, Bed and Breakfasts, restaurants and cafes, specialty shops and, of course, the sites for evening Music on the Square. A brochure from the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce will be included with each student’s registration packet to ensure early lodging reservations in the town of Mountain View. Or you may call the Chamber at (870) 269-8068 for lodging options.
Occasionally, Arkansas Craft School courses are held at alternative locations such as Ozarka College, or at the Artisan Instructor’s professional studio. Students will be advised of lodging options for these alternative locations upon enrollment.
Directions
Maps and directions to your classroom will be sent with your registration packet.

Studio Safety
Students need to be made aware that in many classes, you will be working with tools, equipment or materials which if improperly or carelessly used have the potential to cause injury. Instructors of the Arkansas Craft School will provide training and supervision in the proper use of these tools. However, students assume the risks of working with the tools, equipment and materials required by and provided for your class. Only students and instructors are covered under our insurance policy.
