Multiple session classes can range anywhere between 3-8 classes and 55 minutes-3 hours in length, depending on the class. Multiple session classes might also have remote grad shows.

Single session classes are one day only. They can range anywhere between 55 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the class.

In-Person Drop-in’s are single session classes that run for a total of 2 hours.
