Two Easy Steps to Schedule a Makeup
1. View the weekly class lesson calendar to determine which lesson week your student will miss.
2. Submit the makeup request form.
We'll follow up with you soon after receiving your request to let you know your options. If no makeup is available, you may request a recording of the lesson.
In the meantime, we invite you to view the complete list of ACTIVE weekly classes by type to see what other dates/times your class type is offered and which may still be available for you within this lesson week. Note, often times the only available makeup option will be BEFORE the excused absence.

Weekly Class Makeup FAQs
What is a makeup?
A makeup is a one-day drop-in to another weekly class on our schedule of the same type that is covering the same lesson content as the excused absence, e.g. a student who will be missing a day in an upcoming (ages 9-12) Drawing class may request a makeup in a different (ages 9-12) Drawing class. Makeups may be scheduled in all of our online and in-person classes (subject to availability).
How many makeups may a student have?
One makeup per calendar month may be reqeusted. If a student has more than one excused absence within a calendar month, they may reqeust a recording of the missed lesson for the subsequent absence(s).
Will the makeup be with the same instructor?
Most of our instructors teach a small list of classes so it's most likely that the available makeup options will be in a class with a different instructor.
May my student attend a different type of class as a makeup?
No. Because the objective of a makeup is for the student to catch up on the specific lesson content they'll be missing, their makeup must be in the same type of class on a date when it is covering the same lesson.
May my student attend a makeup in a different location?
Yes. Whether running online or in-person, our weekly classes follow the same curriculum. An in-person student who will be out of town might find that doing a makeup in an online class is the best option for them. Likewise, an online student who finds that an in-person class might be most convenient is welcome to come to our Issaquah studio.
What are our options if no makeup is available or fits our schedule?
- If no makeup is available, a student with an excused absence may instead request secure access to view a recording of the missed lesson. In-person classes are not recorded so lesson recordings from our online classes (same curriculum) will be provided in the case of an excused absence in an in-person class.
Why can't my student do a makeup on a date/time of my choice?
- Makeups are intended to provide students with an opportunity to catch up on the specific lesson they will be missing before they return to their next week of class. The curriculum for each class type consists of a month-long lesson which is broken down into mini lessons (exercises) each week, therefore the makeup opportunities will be within the same lesson week as the absence.
