What to Expect When You Visit
Our market operates a little differently from a traditional retail environment. Because every product is part of a unique, hands-on student learning experience, items are made in real time as students progress through their daily lessons, which means product availability can vary throughout the day.
Here's what to expect:
- Products are offered on a first-come, first-served basis
- Timing and selection vary depending on what students are preparing day to day and even hour to hour
- We are unable to hold or reserve items in advance
- There is no set schedule for when specific products will be stocked
We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding and support as our talented students learn, grow and share their creations with you. Every visit offers something new and exciting, we look forward to welcoming you!
