We recommend that beginner classes have a limited amount of specialized supplies needed to be supplied from home, as this can be daunting to participants just getting started in this medium.
Supplies

Students do not need to bring supplies / I will supply all for NO added feeI will supply the following materials for the fee listed belowStudents will need to bring the following list of materials
Base Fee per student:
Supply fee per student:
Supply list
Instructors determine the base fee per student for the class. That fee is typically doubled to establish the base price for the workshop and the instructor's supply fee is added, which is paid entirely to the instructor. That becomes the retail price.

For example, if you wanted $30 per student, no materials fee, the retail price would be $60. $30 paid to you and $30 retained by Shaker Village.

If you added a supply fee of $15 per student, the retail price would be $75. $45 paid to you ($30 base + $15 supplies) and Shaker Village would retain $30.

Friends of the Shakers members receive $5 off workshop fees but this does not affect the instructor pay, the discount will come out of our commission. Instructors will be paid on the day of their workshop by check. W4s will be collected.
