Class FAQs

For hands-on cooking classes, you may bring your own apron, but we also supply them. Wear closed-toe shoes and tie long hair back. You may wish to dress in layers as the kitchen tends to get hot.

Yes! You will eat what you make in the class and we’ll supply containers for your leftovers.

We don’t recommend this as most classes fill and we cannot accommodate any extra participants.

If the class you want to take is full, email us to have your name added to a waiting list. You will be contacted on a first come, first serve basis if we have cancellations.

We prefer you not bring children to a cooking class.  There are hazards in the kitchen such as sharp knives and hot appliances that could be dangerous for children. Teens 15 and older may register for classes with or without an adult.

Oryana Community Co-op strives to hold all scheduled indoor classes whenever possible. However, classes may be canceled due to low enrollment, instructor illness or emergency, severe weather, facility issues, or other unforeseen circumstances. 

When an indoor class is canceled by Oryana: 

  • Registered attendees will receive a full refund or may choose to transfer their registration to another available class, when applicable. 
  • Attendees will be notified as soon as possible (at least 24 hours in advance) via the email address and/or phone number provided during registration. 
  • Instructors will be notified promptly by the Events & Outreach Coordinator. 
  • Low attendance will be defined as 4 or fewer attendees 7 days before the class is scheduled to take place. 

What if I can no longer attend the class?

Please provide at least four days notice of cancellation for in-person classes. Classes canceled less than four days ahead of time are non-refundable. Cancellations for online classes are non-refundable.
