Online Booking
To complete a booking, you are required to submit your project, design, and any personalized information needed. Without submitting all necessary information, the booking will not allow you to move forward. We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance. All personalized information should be checked to ensure spelling and dates are correct.

Workshop Times & Late Arrivals
Please note that workshops begin and end promptly at the scheduled times. Out of respect and safety for all guests and staff, please make sure you arrive on time, work at a steady pace, and complete your project by the scheduled end time. If you or someone in your group cannot make it to the workshop on time, our team will attempt to get everyone caught up. However, projects do take the majority of the scheduled workshop time, and late arrival may mean you do not have enough time to complete your project. Projects must be completed in one workshop sitting and cannot be left to finish at a later date.

Photo and Video
Any photos or videos taken during the workshop may be used on social media, in advertisements, or on promotional items. If you do not want photos or videos of yourself used for these purposes, or if the project you made has personal or sensitive information you wish to keep private, please let the owner or manager know to opt-out.

BYOB Policy (if applicable)
Certain TRB locations allow anyone over the age of 21 to BYOB with the intention to enjoy a drink or two. Regardless of state laws, we do not allow anyone under the age of 21 to possess, consume, or be under the influence of alcohol. Please be responsible and help us maintain a family-friendly atmosphere for everyone.

We reserve the right to ask for a valid photo ID at any time, dispose of beverages, ask you and your party to leave the premises if you become a disturbance to others, report issues to the Sheriff’s department, or do whatever seems fit to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere.

Please check with your TRB location to see if they offer BYOB.

Open Workshop Cancellation Policy
Due to the nature of our workshops, we need adequate time to process and personalize your selections. Cancellations made at least 72 hours (3 days) in advance of a workshop will receive a full refund. Inadequate cancellation notice or no-shows are non-refundable.

Private Party Cancellation Policy
If the private party is canceled at least ten days before the scheduled date the deposit will be refunded. If canceled less than ten days away from the scheduled date the deposit is non-refundable.

Submit Custom Design requests to the email address provided in your booking confirmation email. Your request should be in the form of a picture or description at least 48 hours before the workshop.

The $10 re-print fee may also be applied if the information submitted at the time of booking is incorrect and a new stencil is cut at the workshop.

Cancellations Due to Weather, Unforeseen Circumstances, or Low Workshop Attendance
If weather, unforeseen circumstances, or fewer than five attendees are booked, we reserve the right to cancel a workshop if circumstances permit. You will be contacted as early as possible via phone or email. If your workshop is canceled, you will be able to reschedule for a future workshop with the existing booking in our system.
