Navajo Weaving Techniques Class at Weaving in Beauty (In-Person Seven Day Class)

Health Safeguards

We take the safety of our students and instructors very seriously.  Many of our students and both of our instructors are in groups that are at high risk of complications from Covid-19 and RSV.  We now have two years of experience with in-person classes in the post-pandemic timeframe.

All of our instructors and our staff are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and the flu. We will be getting the RSV vaccine when available. We have installed a UV-C HEPA filter in the classroom.  We have hand sanitizer and soap readily available at all times.  We are catering lunch every day (included in your tuition).  

Here is what we are asking of our students.  If you are unwilling to comply with our safeguards, please don’t register.  Both of our instructors have lost close relatives to COVID-19, and we are not interested in arguing about this.  If there’s a compliance issue, you’ll be asked to leave class, and no refund or store credit will be offered to you.  Yeah, we mean it, and we don’t want to do it.  What are you agreeing to?  Here goes:

• All students must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and should have a current flu vaccine.  Please bring proof of vaccination with you. 
• Please do a Covid self-test within 24 hours of the start of your class.  If you do not have a test, we’ll provide one for you. 
• All students and staff will follow current CDC and State of New Mexico guidelines for masking.   We have KN95 masks available for your convenience.  Right now, there aren’t any requirements, and we have been doing classes without masks.  We’ll advise you of any changes.  
• If you are ill, please don’t come.  If you have allergies or are otherwise symptomatic, we will require that you show a negative test result to attend class.  We will be glad to transfer your registration to another date.
• If you develop Covid-19 symptoms during the class, you’ll need to isolate and get a Covid-19 test immediately.  If you test positive for COVID-19,  you’ll be leaving class and will not be able to return for the rest of your session.  We will do everything possible to help you quarantine and travel home safely.
• If someone in your class tests positive, our remaining field trips will be canceled, and you’ll be asked to test daily for the remainder of your class.     
• Maintain social distance between yourself and others to the extent possible.   That’s why our classes are limited to six or fewer students.   

We cannot guarantee that you won’t become ill if you travel, but we will do everything we can to keep you and our staff healthy.
