The Class

Proposed Class Title *

What type of class are you proposing?

Member Skill-Building: open to members only. Instructor receives a $50 stipend with the option to donate it to the scholarship fund, to the maker area of your choosing (e.g. printmaking, woodshop, etc.), apply it to your membership dues, or receive $50 check. This is the perfect place to start as a new instructor!

Open to the Public: price suggested by the instructor, MakeHaven members receive a discount covered by MakeHaven. Instructor receives 50% of all proceeds (total class revenue less materials costs). These classes are generally for more experienced instructors.

Facilitator class: run by MakeHaven facilitator during facilitator's usual hours, free or materials only cost, no payment for facilitator.

Promotional class description *

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.

How long will the class be? (note number of hours -- if this is a multi-session class, indicate that as well). *

Minimum number of students *

Maximum number of students *

The largest number of students the class can handle (remember to take safety and tool availability into account!)

Potential class ticket price *

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. Instructors get 50% of all class income that doesn't go to cover the cost of materials.

Scheduling Availability

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.

The Student

Materials Needed *

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.

Prerequisites

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."

What to bring

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?

Anything else we should know?

The Fine Print Stuff

The $50 stipend for Member Skill Building classes is granted if 4 or more members register for the class. Current MakeHaven animators are encouraged to offer Animator Teach classes for members during their regular animator shift, though these classes will generally not be compensated. Animators wishing to teach a class outside of their usual animator obligations, hours, and area may apply for either class type. All instructors must sign an instructor agreement prior to scheduling the class.
