Make & Take FAQ
Classes in our Johnstown location are a bit different than before! Get more information on our Make & Take page!
Many people come in asking about our Make & Take Sessions, and they all generally have the same questions, so we’d like to provide some information here:
Q: Do I have to call to reserve?
A: No, please feel free to stop in anytime during open hours.
Q: How long do Make & Takes sessions last?
A: We generally recommend reserving an hour and a half to pick out everything you'd like to use and have time to put it together. Of course, each project varies.
Q: Do you charge for your classes?
A: No, you only pay for the materials; instruction during Make & Takes is always free!
Q: Do you have a set project for each session?
A: No, we assist you in creating your own project, so that you get the information you need out of every Make & Take! :-)
Q: Do you ever have classes on off days?
A: Yes, if you have a group (e.g. birthday party, girls' night out, etc.) and would like to inquire about setting up special classes, please email us at info@allegorygallery.com. There are often charges for special sessions and a credit card is required for booking any session with a cost attached, but we try to keep them as low as possible for your group.
Q: Can I bring my own beads from home?
A: While you can bring your own supplemental materials during Make & Takes, since our instruction is free, we ask that you purchase the bulk of your materials with us.
Q: What ages are the Make & Take sessions for?
A: We try not to put age limits on our Make & Takes. We've had makers as young as 2-3 years old up to 96 years old. As long as young children are supervised by parents or caretakers, we're happy to allow everyone the space and time to make beautiful jewelry pieces!
Q: Is there anything else I should know?
A: Yes, we want you to have fun! Our Make & Take sessions are great for beginners to more advanced students! We're available to help in any way we can. These sessions can be all-inclusive so that everyone has the chance to learn from everyone else. It's a great, supportive atmosphere, and everyone has lots of fun!
We hope that you'll join us!! :-)
