What is your teaching/subject matter experience?
The Class
Promotional class description: Include a paragraph describing your course to prospective students (for listing on the registration page). Make it clear what the class will cover, who it's intended for, what skills will be covered, and why people should be excited to take it. If there's a tangible takeaway (eg "10 completed screen-printed greeting cards of your own design") include that as well.
The largest number of students the class can handle (remember to take safety and tool availability into account!)
$
Ticked public workshop instructors generally charge between $10 and $30 per student hour separate from materials cost, depending on the experience of the instructor and demand for the class. Member skill building activities are often free, but we recommended a nominal ($5-$10) fee if seats are limited in order to increase attendance.
Please let us know what days of the week and times of day you're available to teach this class. Make sure to include specific date guidelines since your class may be considered more than a month after being proposed.
If you can, include a photo of an example of the final product of the class.

The Student
Please list all items that we will need to have on hand for the class: consumables as well as equipment. IDEAL is to provide a specific link to the product you require.
Please include any necessary prior courses or knowledge (examples: "Must have already taken basic woodshop safety at MakeHaven" or "Students should have some prior milling experience."). If there are no prerequisites, list "None."
List anything students should bring with them. That could be payment for the materials fee, materials that they are expected to provide, specific clothing appropriate for the class activity, ideas, etc. If students need to purchase any materials on their own, list items needed plus estimated costs and, if applicable, locations where students can purchase them.
Anything else?
The Fine Print Stuff
