Classrooms/Teaching Areas & Setup
Classrooms/teaching areas will have chairs and undraped tables. The Whole Bead Show/Bead Renaissance Show (The Show) will provide a minimum of one hour for the Teacher to set up before their first class. If possible, more time will be given, but cannot be promised. On consecutive days, Teacher can get into the classroom/teaching area a ½ hour in advance of class. This may be a stretch, but room rental fees are cost prohibitive for extra setup days.
Advertising
The Show will advertise classes on our website, Facebook pages, and in any other ads and promotions that are done for the show. Teacher must promote classes by emailing, posting information about classes on social media, publishing on website, etc, including directions on how to sign up.
Administration Fee
Class fees include an administration fee charged by The Show to cover room rental and administration costs. The current rate is $45/student for classes 1-4 hours and $80/student for classes 5+ hours. (For example if Teacher would like to get $100 per student for a full day class, the student will pay $180. Upon conclusion of the show, $100 goes to Teacher, $80 goes to The Show.)
Payment of Class Fees & 1099
Teacher will be paid their portion of the class fees within two weeks of show’s end. Any Teacher earning above $600 in fees (excluding administration fees) will receive a 1099. Please be prepared to give social security number after the show.

Google Sheet In-progress Class List
