CLASSES IN THE TIME OF COVID…
AND THE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES WE’RE TAKING

Dear Students and Friends of JHess Studios,

Alicia & I are both thrilled to be opening back up the Studio for our weekly classes, workshops & events.
It has been an extremely trying time for many of us and we cannot possibly thank you all enough for your continued interest, support and well wishes during this pandemic.

As these are unprecedented times, Alicia & I wanted to assure you we are taking this pandemic very seriously and are taking every precaution regarding your safety and well being in opening up the Studio.

There have been some adjustments to the Studio environment that have been made, and certain key things you will need to expect and agree to in order to participate in any JHess Studios activities:

1-      You must fill out a WAIVER OF LIABILITY (will be emailed upon registration) in order to enter the Studio.

2-      The front door will be locked at all times, ring the bell when you arrive, and upon entry your temperature will be taken and recorded by Justin or Alicia with a Non-Contact Forehead Thermometer. If your temperature reads too high, you WILL NOT be admitted into the Studio for that week, no exceptions.

3-      You must wear a face covering before entering the Studio and at all times while in the Studio.
Our outdoor Patio will be open to you during model breaks should you need fresh air and a break from wearing a mask… social distancing of 6 feet must be observed while on the Patio.

4-      There is a No Touch Hand Sanitizer dispenser located at the bottom of the Staircase upon entry & in the Model Room.
Simply hold your hands underneath the sensor for it to dispense. Please feel free to use in often, it works well and smells good.

5-      The Kitchen will be CLOSED. Please feel free to bring your own food and beverages, and take any waste accumulated home with you.
We will have individual bottles of water available to you.

6-      Shared food, snacks and or beverages WILL NOT be allowed, no exceptions.

7-      The Couches in the Model Room will be covered and OFF LIMITS. Each easel or sculpture stand will have an assigned chair to accompany it/you for that day.
We will be disinfecting each chair before and after each Class, Workshop or Event.

8-      Always maintain a social distancing space of at least 6 feet from other students, the models and teachers. We will come to you periodically and when necessary.

9-      There will be disinfecting wipes located in the bathroom, please feel free to use them before and after use. The bathroom will be sanitized before and after each Class, Workshop or Event.

10- If you TRAVEL VIA AIRPLANE (to ANY destination) you MUST QUARANTINE for 1 WEEK & GET A “COVID TEST” before participating in ANY classes, so please plan ahead.

We thank you all for your cooperation so we may be able to continue to enjoy our time together safely.
