Covid-19 Protocols: 
Mettler Studios highly recommends participants have up to date Covid-19 vaccinations for all Mettler Studios in-person classes and events.  Masks and sanitizer will be available to all who wish to use them.
For in-person courses meeting on consecutive days, we also ask that participants take a Covid test immediately before attending.  Unvaccinated participants will need to test twice weekly during a course.  See the Covid Safety page for more details.
Persons with respiratory symptoms, recent close exposure to Covid-19, or testing positive to Covid-19 should contact us and follow CDC guidelines for staying home, testing and masking. Do not plan to come to class if there is risk of contagion, and please contact the teacher.
