Figure-room code of conduct

Phones stay in bags while a model is present. No photography, video or audio recording of any kind.

Only the instructor gives pose directions. No one touches a model or the model’s belongings.

The model changes behind the screen; the robe and changing area are private.

Breaks are the model’s. Do not approach the platform during breaks.

Speak to the instructor or email conduct@plumblineatelier.com. Breaches may end enrollment without refund.
