BEFORE WE TALK DOLLARS

If you are just trying to be the cheapest and your competitors are also trying to be the cheapest, your greatest risk is ending up competing with someone who has money they’re willing to burn or, even worse, who did their maths wrong. This is a bad game to play. We recommend that you differentiate yourself from your competition and charge a fair price for what you do.

WHEN TO RUN A WORKSHOP

WHEN ARE YOU AVAILABLE?

No matter how everything else goes, you need to consider when you will be available. Remember that you will need set up time and pack down time.

The title should be succinct and descriptive: a few words so that people know exactly what you’re doing. As an example, Nori has a “One Day Ceramics Workshop”.

Think of what you would like to call your workshop and write it down for later.

Being able to transfer knowledge to another person is a gift, and in this case you’ll get paid for it!

The best workshops come from a mix of passion and confidence, but if you had to pick one, pick confidence (and work towards passion in a future workshop).
