A NOTE ON IN-PERSON COURSES, CLASSES & WORKSHOPS...
As New Jersey, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas are removing or modifying COVID-19 restrictions to organizational, local and state ordinances, please check with each hosting organization about current face mask, distancing and cleanliness guidelines. A notification of the most current guidelines may be provided to you at enrollment or by request.
As printmaking, papermaking and book arts workshops and classes require a large amount of shared equipment, disinfecting wipes/spray and hand sanitizer will be provided by 9INHANDPRESS, studios will be cleaned and disinfected before and after each class. It is strongly encouraged that enrolled students provide any additional supplies or tools that will make communal, in-person learning a comfortable and safe space (including gloves, tissues, additional wipes, personal sets of tools, etc.). While no one can guarantee a completely risk-free environment, we can all do our part to maintain safe and healthy learning spaces. If you are ill, recovering from a recent illness, have had close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual, please do not attend an in-person workshop! Current CDC guidelines are here; understand that some public and private institutions may institute different policies.
