Registration Information
HOW TO REGISTER
For adult classes, we offer three 14-week long semesters each year, as well as a short August semester. Registration dates for these semesters typically happen: mid-March, June (for August), mid-July, and mid-November, annually. We do not have drop-in/studio membership options. We take all registrations through our website. We do not take registrations over the phone or in person.This is a fairly new registration process for us, so we appreciate your patience while we continue to navigate this change and make improvements. Please see below for more information on how to register.​
Please note: Our adult classes tend to fill very quickly. If you are unable to register for your desired class, join the waitlist by using the link provided on the Adult classes page on the website. If a spot becomes available we will go to the waitlist to fill spots. ​

When your subscription is due for renewal, you will receive an invoice via email from Mudflat, rather than renew when signing up for your class or workshop. Invoices will be sent out to members who are up for renewal on the general registration date. If you would like to renew your subscription, simply pay the invoice online. If you do not want to renew your subscription, do not pay the invoice. If you are not sure when to expect this invoice, you can see your renewal date in your online profile under "My Subscriptions".

When registering using these two options, you will need to put in a coupon code during checkout to receive the proper discount/payment option. Please see the financial aid or EBT Card to Culture pages for more information.
