Do you have previous teaching experience, or have you ever taught this class before? *Please note that answering "no" does not necessarily exclude you from being a teacher with us

Teaching Style

How would you describe your teaching style? Example: relaxed, step-by-step, energetic, social, guided but flexible, etc.

How do you create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for students of varying skill levels?

Experience-Based Classes

Our goal is to offer classes that provide an experience as well as art instruction. We find the most successful classes provide more than just a craft the students could have done on their own at home.

Please explain how you plan to provide an engaging, memorable experience that will keep people wanting to come back, or share their experience with their friends?

Materials, Pricing & Setup Information

While we provide the space, we do require our teachers to provide their own materials for their classes, unless otherwise discussed.

Class pricing is calculated per person using the following structure:

Materials cost per person + Your income per person + $15 Shop's commission per person

Example: Materials ($X) + Your Income ($X) + Shop Commission ($15) = Class price per attendee

Most of our classes fall in the $35 - $75 per person range. Some specialized or material-heavy classes may be priced higher, depending on the craft and materials involved. You are encouraged to set your class cost to fairly cover your expenses and time.

Important Notes :

Flowerstone receives a fixed $15 per attendee for all classes
Our space can accommodate up to 25 people, but you are welcome to set a limit on how many attendees per class you have. Most classes are between 8 - 10 students
We are happy to review pricing with you to ensure your class is set up for success!

Using the calculation above, how much do you predict your class will cost per person?

Trial Class & Vetting Process

To ensure a great fit for both instructors and our community, we use a vetting process for all new teachers.

Instructors must be willing to lead a free trial class or demonstration for our staff before being booked for public classes.

This can be a short class with materials or a demonstration of your teaching approach and project.

Do you agree to this process?

Yes

*Please let us know if you have any questions about this process. We are more than happy to explain anything further.

Availability

All of our adult classes are after hours, when the shop has closed for the day, usually between 6pm and 9pm.

Most of the classes are held on Fridays, but as we add more teachers, we are open to other weekday evenings.

Most of our classes occur once a month to every few months.

Are you able to schedule classes in the evenings, during the week?

Yes

Do you believe your class can be taught and completed in a 3 hour window?

Yes

How often would you be willing to teach a class? *First class will be a trial class. We will schedule future after your first class.
