You need to be paid what you are worth, which is a lot!

I'd say if they don't want to pay then play in the time you would otherwise teach, you are a profesional teacher and more than worth your salt. I love Rae's lace in the Paris mode must have some before its gone. Love the little piece at the tops reminds me of sprites and fairies.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989055537382959198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21933742.post-28351880142585265722011-03-18T15:25:55.392+08:002011-03-18T15:25:55.392+08:00I can appreciate where you are coming from re work...I can appreciate where you are coming from re workshops,also the preparing, packing and unpacking even as a participant can take an aweful lot of time.I hope you can find some of that elusive "me" time to play and enjoy that glass of wine.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289404846969885349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21933742.post-59487394634760852092011-03-18T09:12:03.149+08:002011-03-18T09:12:03.149+08:00I think you are fabulous - you do so much and are ...I think you are fabulous - you do so much and are so generous with sharing your experiments on your blog. I am looking forward to my share of Katherine's order with the lovely stencils and sari ribbon, and am really enjoying the Flower Power online course.

Each day is 9.30 - 4.30 and anyone who has ever done a class knows that's only a rough guide. I've never known a tutor to say "righto girls, time's up, get out".<br />Allowing for lunch, if I break that down to an hourly rate, it works out to be less than $20 per hour for invaluable knowledge, tips and general ideas. <br />How I wish my mechanic, electrician, fridge/washing machine repair man, even my hairdresser charged that amount......the people questioning you need to take a long hard look at themselves.....enjoy that hard earned glass of red....cheersTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156184865301526179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21933742.post-50235419398002123162011-03-18T02:19:31.941+08:002011-03-18T02:19:31.941+08:00If something is worth having, it's worth payin...If something is worth having, it's worth paying for and you are very generous.

It's one reason I retired from teaching.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831911392950703592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21933742.post-48003145590329473582011-03-17T21:39:46.822+08:002011-03-17T21:39:46.822+08:00I SO hear what you are saying about being paid pro...I SO hear what you are saying about being paid proper professional rates - I don't think people stop to consider the time and preparationinvolved. It's the same when trying to sell hand made items too... people seem to want something for nothing.
