I also have three workshops scheduled in 2005, in Arkansas, Tennessee (the
same place as David's), and Minnesota. Details are on the workshops page of
my web site, www,paullewingtile.com. And I'll be at NCECA hoping to arrange
ore of them.

John,
What do you need from someone to host a workshop for you?
And I throw that question out to all of you who travel and give workshops.
What do you require in order to put one on? I'm in northern NJ and I'm
interested in setting some things up if the details can be worked out. I'd at least
like to hear what you all would need to see if I can provide it.

Hi John,
I looked at the workshops on your website and they're all for 2004. Are you
giving any this year?
If anyone else here is giving any workshops or classes, could you please post
them so we can gather up all the info and see what we can attend?
Just wondering.....

Susie,
Generally.....
Hands-on workshop:
(1)The space should be big enough to comfortably fit 8 -12 wheels, as many
people plus one, and places to put clay, tools, and the pots made.
(2) Enough wheels for all participants, plus one for me(for my wheel
workshop)
Demonstration workshop:
(1)The space should be able to accommodate a throwing area (wheel and a
table on either side for tools and pots in process) that can be seen by as
many people as you will have viewing the demonstration.
Slide Projector, or Digital Projector w/PC
Clay
Lodging - a place to stay while in the area either in someone's home or a
motel....
(or a real nice bed and breakfast)
If I am able to book more than one workshop in the same general area the
travel expenses are shared by the other venues.
I have been the President of the New Hampshire Potters Guild for the last
four year and our organization has put on several workshops using different
school studios, but we will use personal studios for a smaller workshop.
We have also had several presenters come from a distance. Phil Rogers
coming from Wales had an expensive travel bill. Our Workshop co-
coordinator help Phil schedule other workshops with organizations in the
near-by area, and we split the travel expenses with the other venues. As
far as lodging is concerned, one of our guild members will have the
presenter stay with them during the workshop.
Every workshop is slightly different and may require some flexibility.
What I listed was for a basic throwing and altering workshop. Space and
clay are basics...firing workshops are very different, bisqued pots from
the participants would replace the need for clay, and tables for group
glazing replaces the need for wheels.
For a Raku workshop I can bring a kiln to near-by locations, or as part of
the workshop a kiln can be made out of a used-up electric kiln, and some
soft brick.
I will email fees to you off-list.
Thank you,
Jeff Brown

Susie, I'd think anyone who's given a lot of workshops should be expected to
have a very clear prospectus, listing what will be covered, maybe even down
to having the schedule broken down, at least into half-days. They should
also be able to provide you with a very detailed list of all the materials
and equipment they'll be using, down to ware boards and plastic cups. It's
terrible to get to a place ready to teach and then realize they don't have a
sink in the room, or you needed a banding wheel, and they don't have one.
You should also be prepared to pay the instructor's fee, plus travel
expenses and room and board. Personally, I prefer staying in someone's home
to a motel, but that can be a real imposition for a workshop of a week or
so. I also do not like to have to put a kid out of his room. You should
also find out ahead of time if the instructor has special food or other
requirements.
When it comes to travel arrangements, I prefer to book my own airline
flights, so I get the flyer miles. When I have enough for a free flight, I
use it to go teach in a state I have not yet taught in, but then I'm working
on teaching in all 50 states, and some of them are hard to get.

PS. Even though I've already taught once in New Jersey, I'd love to come
again. See my web site for workshop descriptions.
