Make It and Take It
Donna Kato
Hello Everyone;
I'm still so new at the computer thing; I just figured out how to find
all the messages in a "thread!" I've tried to email and answer all
inquiries about the new business but, in case I've missed someones,
here are the details:
Make-It and Take-It, More Than a Fun Night Out...
The focus is on fun, education and making the teachers money! The
classes will be basic and short - only two hours. We anticipate that
the average size of a party might be 12. Each person taking the
session will be charged a teacher's fee of 10.00. The teacher keeps
the entire fee. All the projects will be prepackaged (easy!) and the
teacher will receive a percentage of the kits sold. In addition,
we'll have an open stock program which the teacher may sell (receiving
a percentage of those sales as well.) Now let's say the teacher spins
off another teacher. She'll get a percentage of those sales, too.
If a teacher wants to make a day of it, she can teach three projects.
Student fees would be three times 10.00. 30.00 x the number of
students.
We'll have basic polymer clay classes, and other craft media. We're
planning glass etching, ceramic painting, mosaic work, just to name a
few.
In order to be a teacher, you just have to be good with your hands, be
a little creative (no shortage of that in this group!) and a
willingness to share what you know! We'll be conducting teaching
sessions for our teachers using all the media we feature. We begin in
Philly January 24 and 25th. If you're in the area and interested,
just email me or Connie Sheerin.
Connie Sheerin, president of the Delaware Valley Guild
(conc...@aol.com) and I are "share the wealth" kind of people - we
hope to help others achieve their goals and dreams as we fulfill our
own. It's a win-win situation. As the business grows, we'll need
regional managers, so think about that, too.
Hope to hear from some of you out there!
Best regards, Donna

I just have to say that this sounds like such a wonderful idea. A certain
percentage of people that take the classes and discover the joys of polymer
claywork will surely go on to become addicted as so many of the readers of this
group are. And, we all know that having more participants in the art will
benefit all of us.

Question, Donna...
Are teh projects you are putting together kind of "age specific" or not?
(Like, would the workshops be mainly aimed at adult women or kids or a mix or
...?)
(You ought to consider making your teaching sessions available as guild
programs... I don't know for CERTAIN, but I think my guild might have enough
people interested to have a meeting dedicated to the idea, I'll check next
meeting...)

Great Idea Donna,
When you start branching out into other areas of the country, you
might want to post it here & let us know. I (and probably alot of others) would
be intersted in this but are too far away to come to the training course.

Could you put your training session on video, then send/sell them to those who
are interested in doing this but too far away?

That's a great idea. I second the motion.

That's a very interesting idea! I'm going to run that by my partner.
Thanks!
