Covid-19 Update for Metal Arts Academy
Wow! What a strange time we are all living in! At least we are all in it together…and we can support each other to get through.
Here at Metal Arts Academy we are aware of all of the safety precautions that have been advised. With that said, we require masks to be worn in the shop, we offer hand sanitizer all over the place and we wipe down all tools and equipment after each class. We have purchased an air purifier that we run continuously in the shop. We are also limiting certain classes to help with social distancing.
Please call the office if you have any questions or concerns. So far all of our students have been very satisfied with the steps we have taken to reopen.
We want to be here to serve our students so we will continue to follow guidelines as they are updated. Thank you!
