Share Your Skills Workshops
How to run an arts workshop or a craft workshop!
Are you one of the many talented artists and craftspeople who should be sharing their skills?
You could be running an arts or craft workshop!
Many art and craft practitioners are experts in their field, but don’t fully understand the skills required in running classes, workshops or coaching sessions.
It’s true. We have all been to workshops, paid good money, and been disappointed because they weren’t taught well.
Now there is a solution!
I offer a “SHARE YOUR SKILLS” workshop, where art and craft practitioners will learn the essential secrets of organising, designing and running first class workshops.
My background is in training trainers (Dip Ed, and Med (hons) in Teacher Education), and in Creative Arts. (I have an MCA and a DCA.)
I have been running “train the trainer” courses for a while, but was struck by the absence of any similar courses to help people in the Creative Arts start up their own classes.
How the workshops can run:
- If there is enough individual interest in a certain region, I will organise a workshop for that region.
- If a group would like to host a workshop, I would be available.
- If individuals would prefer one-on-one coaching, I am available for that, either in person or by Zoom
