Students must bring their own apple pencil. Ipads are provided.

How big are your classes/how many kids are in each class? The goal is to keep a class size around 10 students. Sometimes it’s a few less or a few more.

Who teaches each class? All classes are taught by caring art enthusiasts with a passion for children's creativity. Most classes are taught by Kimberly Tupper, a professional artist and owner of Tupperberry, herself.

Where is your studio located? The studio is located within Lyceum Village in Tustin, California.

What if I signed up for a month of classes but my child gets sick and misses a week? Not a problem at all! This occurs often and you simply schedule a make-up class for that same or the following week. You can check the posted schedule and find a class for that age group that is convenient for you and your child.

Do you offer makeup classes?
Yes, we offer one makeup class per month, which must be scheduled and completed within the same month. This ensures students can continue working on their current projects without disruption.

Makeup classes cannot be postponed to a later month. While we understand that schedules can get busy, we are unable to accommodate multiple makeup classes if other activities are prioritized during the scheduled class time. Thank you for your understanding!

Can I sign up for more than one month of classes at a time? Yes! We actually prefer that as it cuts down on paperwork/billing processes! Simply add a “package” to the cart when you sign up for a class. You will see that you can register your child for 3 months or 6 months classes while saving a bit of money!

I know the classes are an hour long. What happens if I am running late for pick-up due to an errand? We understand that unforeseen circumstances can sometimes lead to running late for pick-up, and we always prioritize the safety and well-being of your child. Rest assured, your child will be in a safe and supervised environment until you arrive. We know that situations arise that are out of our control, and we're here to accommodate those occasional instances. However, we kindly request that you let us know as soon as possible if you anticipate being late, so we can inform our instructors and ensure that everything is running smoothly.

What If I sign up for a class or art camp and have to cancel?

We understand that plans don’t always go as intended. If you’ve signed for an after school class and need to cancel, you may be subject to a small fee of $5. Summer art camps are subject to a $50 non-refundable fee.

Summer Art Camp FAQ

What are the summer art camp hours?

Tupperberry's summer art camp runs from 9:15 am to 11 am. However, you can drop off your child anytime after 9 am. Instruction begins at 9:15 am and ends at 10:45 am. Afterward, children can enjoy a free snack of popcorn or bring money to purchase other treats from the snack bar.

What if I'm late picking up my child from summer camp?

Art instruction ends at 10:45 am. Your child can stay for an additional 15 minutes to work on their art or enjoy the provided snacks. Parents and guardians should pick up their child by 11 am. If you are late, there will be a $25 fee for every additional 30 minutes.

What happens to after-school classes during summer?

All after-school programs are suspended during the summer. Classes end at the end of May and will resume at the end of August, in line with the Irvine/Tustin school calendar.

Where are art classes held?

Most summer art classes take place on the patio at the back of the building. It's a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while creating art! If the weather doesn't permit, classes will be held indoors on the upper level.

Are children of different ages mixed together in classes?

Whether children of different ages are mixed in classes depends on registration volume. In weeks with high enrollment, we divide classes by age group, with younger children attending indoor classes. Rest assured, if classes are mixed, we have plenty of helpers available to assist the younger children.
